Pair of Fine Quality Late 19thc Mahogany Open Armchairs in the Chippendale Style

19th century
Description

A pair of fine quality late 19th century mahogany open armchairs in the Chippendale style.

This pair of chairs of sophisticated design each consist of a shaped and carved top rail with central scallop shell and carved foliate and reeded design terminating with outer scroll.

The unusual central splat with lattice design and foliate decoration with further foliate design below, the carved uprights consisting of floral and blind fret decoration and the shaped arms with carved foliate design.

This leading down to faux leather seats in a deep grey/green tone supported on square legs to the front with floral and blind fret decoration with outswept legs to the rear.

An image of the original design of these chairs can be found in the book 'English Furniture of the 18th Century' by Herbert Cescinsky Volume II Page 255 Figure 282.

This pair of chairs are in very good condition for age, are of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This pair of late nineteenth-century open armchairs follows the Chippendale style in dark brown mahogany with deep grey-green faux leather upholstery and brass stud detailing along the seat rail. Each chair has a shaped top rail with a central scallop shell, acanthus scroll cresting, and carved foliate and reeded terminals. The pierced lattice splats include further foliate decoration, complemented by carved uprights with floral and blind fretwork, and curved arms with carved foliate detailing. The front square legs feature floral and blind fret carving, while the rear legs are outswept, and the whole frames stand stable in very good condition for their age. Measuring 95.2 cm high, 63 cm wide, and 53.2 cm deep, these seats suit a gentleman's library, a study, or a traditional dining room for daily use at a desk or table.

FAQs

Chippendale style furniture, inspired by 18th-century cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, typically features pierced splats, intricately carved crest rails, gothic or chinoiserie fretwork, and sturdy cabriole or straight square legs.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany for durability and rich grain structure, featuring traditional mortise and tenon joinery, carved pierced back splats, and drop-in or close-studded upholstered seats.

Authentic late Victorian revival pieces display hand-carved decorative elements, precise wood joinery without modern fasteners, natural patination on mahogany surfaces, and appropriate age-related wear to the frame base and stretchers.

Place the pair symmetrically flanking a sideboard, situate them at either end of a contemporary dining table as carvers, or incorporate them into a home library paired with modern lighting and understated textiles.

Dust the wood frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish periodically; clean and condition the leather upholstery with dedicated leather products to prevent drying or cracking over time.
