This set of four mid nineteenth century dining chairs originates from around 1860 in the Louis XV style. The frames consist of solid dark brown mahogany with carved details, shaping into hour-glass shaped cartouche backs with reeded edges, over generous deep seats with serpentine seat rails on fluted cabriole legs. Each chair is upholstered in light blue patterned brocade fabric with matching blue braid edging. The timber displays a warm patina, and the fabric shows minor signs of age with some minor stains while remaining solid, robust, and useable. Measuring 88 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 46 cm deep, these chairs suit formal dining rooms or living spaces as traditional seating around a central table.

FAQs

The Louis XV style is defined by Rococo influences, featuring fluid curves, asymmetrical motifs, molded frames, and distinctive cabriole legs. Revived prominently in the mid-19th century, these designs emphasise comfort, refined carving, and elegant silhouettes.

Chairs from this era were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood. Internal construction relied on traditional joinery, horsehair padding, steel coil springs, and woven jute webbing under woven textile or damask upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved frame details, hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, and natural age-related patina on the timber. The underside often reveals historic tool marks, traditional corner blocking, and evidence of original upholstery techniques.

These curved, ornate chairs provide a strong visual contrast when paired with a clean-lined wooden or marble dining table. Incorporating subtle, contemporary upholstery fabrics allows historic carved frames to integrate smoothly into modern interior schemes.

Timber frames should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned annually with high-quality beeswax. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, joint loosening, and fabric fading.
