Set of Eight Antique Sheraton Style Shield Back Dining Chairs

1940 - 1960
Description

A lovely set of eight antique Sheraton style shield back dining chairs. They were made in England, and date from around the 1950’s.

The quality is superb, they have beautifully carved pierced back rests with wheat sheaf motifs. They have tapered legs terminating in spade feet, with stretchered bases for extra stability. They are solid beech, which has lovely grain patterns and a beautiful, warm colour tone, similar to walnut.

We have had the frames re-polished and the drop in seats have been re-upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is excellent for their age, with just some incredibly minor wear remaining beneath the polish here and there.

Width carvers – 23 inches , 58 cm

Width side chairs – 21 inches , 54 cm

Depth – 22 inches , 56 cm

Height – 38 inches , 96 cm

Seat height – 18 inches , 46 cm

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sheraton style dining chairs are characterised by Neoclassical proportions, refined geometric forms, and delicate carved details, frequently featuring shield, square, or rectangular backs with openwork splats.

These chairs are predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or satinwood, often featuring drop-in or stuff-over seats upholstered in silk, damask, or neutral woven fabrics.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved joinery, peg construction, original corner blocks under the frame, and natural wear patterns on the stretchers and leg bases.

Pairing traditional mahogany dining chairs with a modern minimalist table creates an engaging tactile contrast, while re-upholstering the seats in crisp linen updates the silhouette.

Maintain timber frames by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax annually, avoiding direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood movement and fabric fading.
