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.

  • MaterialWalnut, Cane
  • ColourWarm Brown

  • SizeH 112 cm (44 in) x W 36 cm (14 in) x D 43 cm (17 in)

This early Victorian correction chair is formed from warm brown walnut with a visible grain, complemented by woven cane panelling in both the elongated backrest and the seat. The timber exhibits a well-worn patina across its surface. Turned baluster legs support the seat and connect via two rows of horizontal turned stretchers with central turnings, terminating in simple plain feet. The upright back curves gently at the top rail, framing the rectangular cane insert above a solid lower wooden crossbar. The piece measures 112 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 43 cm deep. Position this side chair in a reception room, study, or hallway as a decorative accent seat or occasional chair. Its narrow proportions allow it to fit into compact alcoves or smaller spaces where standard seating proves too wide, while the open cane construction maintains a light visual profile against interior walls.

FAQs

A Victorian correction chair, frequently associated with the designs of Sir Astley Cooper, is a specialised 19th-century chair featuring an abnormally tall backrest and narrow seat designed to enforce proper upright posture.

These chairs were primarily constructed using hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, paired with woven cane or rattan panels for the seat and backrest inserts.

Authentic examples display disproportionately elongated backrests, narrow proportions, turned wooden stretchers and legs, hand-woven cane inserts, and joinery methods consistent with 19th-century cabinetmaking.

A correction chair works well as a decorative visual statement in an entryway, library alcove, or corner space, providing an intriguing vertical element when set against neutral wall backdrops.

Keep the chair positioned away from direct heat sources to prevent the cane from becoming brittle, apply a natural beeswax polish to the timber framework, and occasionally hydrate the natural cane panels if necessary.
