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.

This set of eight Victorian dining chairs dates to c.1890 in the Art Nouveau style. The timber is dark brown walnut with a polished finish, complemented by rich brown velvet upholstery secured with brass studding along the borders. Each chair has a high back with carved pierced scrollwork, turned tapering front legs fitted with brass and brown pottery castors, and square tapering outsplayed rear legs. Visible signs of age include chips to the back corners and marks to the seat fabric, alongside sturdy joints. Measuring 101 cm high, 46.5 cm wide, and 56 cm deep, these chairs are designed to seat diners comfortably around a formal dining table in a dining room or spacious kitchen setting. They provide a traditional seating arrangement for daily meals or hosting dinner parties.

FAQs

Walnut frames should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned annually with natural beeswax polish. Velvet upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and immediate spot-cleaning using dry-cleaning solvents rather than water-based products.

A complete set of high-back antique chairs provides structural grounding around a minimalist oak, marble, or contemporary glass dining table. The dark timber and textured velvet create strong visual contrast against modern architectural backdrops.

Authentic period chairs display hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, and natural wear patterns around the feet and armrests. Original pieces often feature brass castors on the front legs and period-correct upholstery tacking underneath.

Chairs from this period were predominantly constructed from dense solid hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany. Upholstery frequently featured natural wool, silk velvets, or leather, secured with decorative brass studs over horsehair padding.

Art Nouveau dining chairs are defined by organic lines, intricate relief carvings inspired by nature, and elongated high backrests. Developed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these pieces emphasize artisan craft over industrial production.
