This pair of late nineteenth century Victorian side chairs is constructed from ebonised wood with fabric upholstery and metal hardware, finished in black and off-white. The seating displays shaped backs with decorative carved crest rails featuring loop finials, above deeply upholstered seats covered in black and white ticking stripe fabric. The front supports consist of heavy turned and carved legs fitted with original metal castors, while the plain rear supports remain straight and dark. Each chair measures 94 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 41 cm deep, providing a compact footprint suited for various living spaces. Traditional methods and materials have been used to reupholster the pieces, leaving the fabric clean and taut against the dense padding. The dark ebonised finish shows subtle tonal variations across the wooden frames and crests, highlighting the carved details and turning work. Suitable for use in a hallway, bedroom, or reception room, these chairs provide a combination of Victorian and Gothic design elements designed to integrate easily into traditional or contemporary interiors.

FAQs

Late Victorian ebonised side chairs feature dark-stained or blackened hardwood frames, often crafted with low seat heights and ornamental carving typical of late 19th-century furniture design.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames finished with an ebonised stain, carved decorative elements, metal or brass castors, and layered upholstery over webbed seats.

Authentic pieces generally display period hand-carved details, original castor fittings, and gentle surface wear where the ebonised dark finish reveals the timber underneath.

Positioning a pair of ebonised chairs alongside a hallway table or in an alcove creates visual symmetry, whilst tailored monochrome upholstery complements modern design schemes.

Dust the frames regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply non-silicone wax sparingly to preserve the timber finish, and vacuum upholstery gently using soft brush attachments.
