This pair of eighteenth-century George I side chairs consists of two matching seats made from mahogany with a dark brown finish and warm patina. Each chair has a well-shaped back featuring a vase-shaped splat and stands on cabriole legs ending in pad feet with turned stretchers to the base. The drop-in seats are upholstered in blue patterned fabric. Small repairs are visible on the shoulders of both chairs, and they display their original feet. They stand at a height of 95 cm with a width of 55 cm and a depth of 50 cm. These traditional chairs suit placement in a dining room, living room, or study for seating at a table or desk, fitting well within an English country house interior.

FAQs

George I furniture dating from 1714 to 1727 marks the transition between Queen Anne and early Georgian design, characterised by solid mahogany construction, curved cabriole legs, vase-shaped splats, and understated classical proportions.

Craftsmen primarily utilised dense mahogany imported from the West Indies for the frame, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, turned wood stretchers, and removable drop-in seat frames upholstered in woven fabrics.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved details, hand-saw markings on the secondary timbers such as pine or oak seat rails, natural patination on turned stretchers, and pad or slipper feet.

A pair of early Georgian mahogany side chairs can function as hall chairs flanking a console table, serve as accent seating in an office, or complement modern dining tables to create decorative contrast.

Position timber furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or splitting, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish annually.
