A matching pair of Regency elbow armchairs constructed from mahogany with a rich dark brown colour and visible patina, standing at 88.9 cm high, 58.4 cm wide, and 54.6 cm deep. Each armchair displays a curved top rail with a raised fluted tablet, a central carved splat featuring scroll work and roundels, and reeded scrolled arms ending in turned roundels over unusual shaped supports. The panelled seat frames incorporate fluted front corners, supporting drop-in seats upholstered in olive green velvet, above turned tapering front legs, traditional sabre rear legs, and turned cross stretchers with a central roundel. These armchairs provide functional seating for a living room, study, or drawing room interior. The frames are strong and sturdy in good original condition, displaying the distinct styling and craftsmanship of Scottish cabinet making circa 1825. The existing green velvet upholstery shows signs of age and wear, offering the option to recover the seats to specific requirements.

FAQs

Regency armchairs, dating from the early 19th century, are characteristically influenced by classical Greek and Roman architecture, featuring neoclassical lines, reeded frames, swept sabre or turned legs, and prominent scroll terminals on the armrests.

Craftsmen during the Regency period primarily utilised dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, often paired with traditional joinery techniques such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural horsehair padding, and hand-woven or velvet upholstery.

Authentic Regency chairs display hand-planed timbers, irregular tool marks underneath the frame, natural patination in lower recesses, original dowel or peg joinery, and neoclassically proportioned carved elements like reeding or rosettes.

Regency carvers function effectively as head-of-table dining chairs, accent seating flanking a sideboard, or as desk chairs in a study, providing a historical anchor alongside contemporary or minimalist furniture.

Mahogany wood frames should be cleaned with a soft microfiber cloth and polished periodically with a beeswax polish, while velvet upholstery should be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
