Pair of Gothic Arts & Crafts Oak Desk Chairs

19th century
Description

An unusual pair of late Victorian Gothic style desk or library chairs, in honey coloured oak with padded top rail and Gothic tracery and with high out curving arms. The padded seats are upholstered in a dark blue leather edged with brass studs to match the padding on the top rail. With square tapering legs, slightly outsplayed to the back, and united with an H-stretcher for strength. We have a total of five of these chairs.

A useful point to note when considering these chairs is that the front arm supports are set 8 1/4in (21cm) back from the front edge of the seat so the chair can be positioned closer to the desk than other models might allow.

In good condition for age, some water spots and marks as should be expected, the leather in good condition.

Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Gothic Revival and Arts & Crafts design movements emphasized visible craftsmanship, structural honesty, and motifs drawn from medieval architecture. Common design elements include trefoils, pointed arch tracery, straight timber framing, and exposed joinery.

These chairs were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as quarter-sawn oak or walnut, paired with natural leather or heavy woven upholstery. Decorative brass or iron studs were commonly used to secure the upholstery to the wooden frame.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved or crisp cut-out tracery details, mortise and tenon joints, and natural age-related patination on the oak timber. The leather upholstery often shows historic brass tack placement and traditional horsehair or spring stuffing beneath the seat.

Place these armchairs alongside a clean-lined modern or contemporary desk to create visual contrast between architectural periods. They also function effectively in a home library, reading corner, or positioned on either side of a side table.

Clean the oak timber using a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood and maintain its luster. Leather upholstery should be wiped with a damp cloth and treated with a dedicated leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
