  • SizeH 94 cm (37 in) x W 176 cm (69 in) x D 70 cm (28 in)

This Chippendale style camel back settee from 1880 adopts the classic English country house aesthetic, standing on straight legs connected by pierced fretwork stretchers. The mahogany frame displays a dark brown finish, supporting a serpentine camel back profile and prominent rolled scroll arms that terminate in carved details, while the seat and back retain their original exposed hessian and calico upholstery linings in natural tones. Signs of age and past use show across the stripped fabric and timber framework, marking its current state of preparation for reupholstery. The piece measures 94 cm high, 176 cm wide, and 70 cm deep. Such a settee works well in a traditional living room, drawing room, or hallway as a central seating option once restored.

FAQs

A Chippendale style camel back settee is characteristically distinguished by its serpentine, arched backrest resembling a camel hump, outward-scrolling arms, and hardwood frame, popularised during the eighteenth century by designer Thomas Chippendale.

Traditional construction typically features a solid mahogany frame, hand-mortised joinery, corner blocks, webbing, horsehair padding, and pierced or carved stretchers connecting the legs for reinforced stability.

Authentic period pieces often display hand-sawn timber marks, original wooden dowels, oxidised wood in unseen areas, irregular carved details, and heavy solid mahogany construction with mortise-and-tenon joints.

Reupholstering the frame in contemporary neutral linen or textured fabrics creates a striking contrast against traditional dark mahogany legs, allowing the historic silhouette to anchor a living room or hallway.

Dust the wooden legs regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax periodically to protect the timber finish, keep the frame away from direct heat sources, and vacuum fabric components gently.
