Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Pierced urn-shaped splats: Queen Anne revival design popular from the 1880s.
Polished timber worn through at the arm terminals: decades of handling.
Swept back legs sawn from solid walnut: typical late Victorian chairmaking.
Softening and small scuffs on the pad feet: ordinary friction against floors.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Victorian His and Hers chair sets typically feature a larger, higher-backed gentlemans chair alongside a slightly smaller, lower ladys armchair designed to accommodate period attire such as hoop skirts.

Craftsmen traditionally constructed these frames from solid timber such as walnut or mahogany, incorporating traditional joinery, horsehair padding, metal springs, and woven velvet or damask upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved decorative framing, hand-mortised frame joints, original castors or turned feet, and natural patination on the exposed walnut surfaces.

Positioned near a fireplace or arranged as a reading corner pair, these chairs provide texture and historical contrast alongside contemporary or classic decor.

Keep the wood frames away from direct heat sources, apply natural beeswax polish to timber elements annually, and gently brush or vacuum the velvet fabric to clear dust.
