FAQs

Chippendale style chairs are characterized by their serpentine top rails, pierced ribbon or Gothic splats, and robust mahogany construction developed in the 18th century by cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale.

High-grade solid mahogany was the primary timber used due to its rich colour and durability, often paired with mortise and tenon joinery and padded seats upholstered in woven damask, velvet, or leather.

Authentic and fine revival examples feature hand-carved pierced splats, solid corner blocks beneath the seat frame, hand-chiselled mortise and tenon joints, and a deep timber patina developed over time.

Contrast their rich dark timber and formal silhouette by pairing them with a modern marble or minimalist oak dining table, using neutral upholstery to create a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Keep mahogany timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinking or timber bleaching, and nourish the finish periodically with a high-quality beeswax polish.
