Ladies & Gents Pair of 19thc 'Old Saxon' Turned Oak Chairs

19th century
For Sale by Andros Antiques
Description

This Ladies & Gents Pair of 19thC ‘Old Saxon’ Turned Chairs would make a bold statement wherever they were placed. The triangular shape of the chairs, combine perfectly with the geometric carving design in the back rail. The turned legs are of very generous proportions and work so well with the ring turned arms.

A well-documented design, and usually associated with the well known Victorian chairmaker, John Starkey, and indeed one of his chairs is held at the V&A Museum. They are a Victorian reproduction of a notable 17thC turned chair from Lord Leycester’s Hospital in Warwick. Underneath one of the chairs there is the trade label for Everitt Jackson, Kenilworth, Antique Dealer, noting the design from Leycester’s Hospital.

With one of these chairs larger than the other, we can assume they were made in the His & Hers style, so popular in the Victorian era. The chairs both display a wonderful patina, and would make a real talking point whenever viewed.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

FAQs

A turned chair, historically referred to as a thrown chair, is a traditional seating form constructed using lathe-turned timber spindles and posts. The Old Saxon style revived 16th and 17th-century designs, featuring triangular seats, three turned legs, and incised chip-carved cresting rails.

These chairs are predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak or ash. The components are shaped using wood-turning lathes and joined via mortise and tenon joints, often decorated with geometric carved motifs along the upper backrest.

Authentic 19th-century examples display slight variations in turned spindle thickness due to manual hand-lathe production. Look for natural oxidation in the wood grain, shrinkage across the triangular seat panels, and historical wear on the lower stretchers.

Their distinct sculptural silhouette makes them ideal as architectural accent pieces in entrance halls, stair landings, or study alcoves. Pairing these heavily textured timber pieces alongside modern, plain-upholstered elements creates a balanced interior contrast.

Maintain the timber by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve moisture and lustre. Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking, and clear dust from turned grooves using a soft brush.
