Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Gothic-arch splats and slender turned uprights: late eighteenth-century Sheraton design.
Individual holes drilled through the underside rails: traditional hand-woven cane work.
Original black paint rubbed through on crest rails: natural wear from long use.
Hand-shaped curved front rail and cross-brace underneath: cabinet-maker assembly before mechanisation.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This English 18th century Sheraton period window seat is made from painted timber and finished in black with parcel gilt decoration. The piece has a gentle bow shaped front and stands on turned legs with pointed arch end splats and a loose floral needlepoint cushion in red and beige tones. Gilt highlights detail the frame, showing signs of gentle wear to the dark surface. The seating height with the cushion is 49 cm, and the complete piece measures 81 cm high, 94 cm wide, and 33 cm deep. Position this window seat in a bay window, hallway, or at the foot of a bed for traditional seating in a home. The narrow profile fits easily into transitional spaces or narrow corridors while providing a decorative surface and a practical resting place.

FAQs

Sheraton period window seats are defined by their slender, rectilinear proportions, delicate turned legs, and neoclassical decorative motifs such as painted detailing, gilt accents, and arched or shield-shaped end splats.

These seats were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or beech when intended for painted finishes, combined with gold leaf gilding and woven textile or needlepoint cushions.

Authentic late 18th-century painted furniture exhibits natural surface wear, faint craquelure in the painted finish, hand-turned timber joinery, and original hand-applied parcel gilding rather than modern uniform spray finishes.

An antique window seat is effectively positioned within architectural window recesses, placed along wide corridors, or arranged at the foot of a bed to add structural shape and decorative texture.

Painted and gilt timber should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting lightly with a dry microfibre cloth without using chemical cleaners or water.
