Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Stopped chamfers on the front legs: careful bench work of the interwar years.
Green grained Rexine seat coverings: early twentieth-century synthetic upholstery.
Carved square relief bosses across the splats: geometric Cotswold School design.
Quarter-sawn oak showing distinct medullary rays: traditional timber conversion.
Soft wear to the rail edges and feet: natural handling over decades.

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.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

The oak displays a pleasing tone and grain alongside the right amount of time-worn character and firm joints, and one foot on one chair has a chip. Measuring Height 87 cm x Width 44 cm x Depth 50 cm overall, this set is ready for placing around a dining table in an English Country House or traditional home after a careful clean and light wax.

FAQs

The Cotswold School was an influential offshoot of the British Arts and Crafts movement that developed in Gloucestershire in the early 20th century. Designers emphasised traditional hand-craftsmanship, visible joinery, unvarnished natural timber, and functional forms free from excessive ornamentation.

Pieces from this period were primarily constructed using native English hardwoods, most notably solid oak, walnut, and chestnut. Seats were commonly fitted with drop-in padded leather cushions, woven rush, or drop-in cane inserts.

Authentic chairs from this era display traditional construction techniques such as exposed mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved detailing, and sturdy stretcher rails. The wood often exhibits a natural grain figure with historic patination around high-touch areas.

These structured timber chairs pair well with simple contemporary dining tables made of modern wood or stone. Their geometric backrests provide structural contrast against minimalist neutral walls and understated room styling.

Oak timber should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned annually with a high-grade beeswax polish. Leather seating surfaces require periodic treatment with a dedicated leather balm to prevent drying and cracking.
