These 18th-century Dutch lacquered side chairs originate from circa 1790 and exhibit good original gilt Chinoiserie decoration on a black ground. Each piece presents a cartouche-shaped back with a central wavy splat decorated with Chinese figures, bridges, and foliage, above a shaped padded seat upholstered in pale green patterned silk with Chinoiserie scenes. The serpentine fronts stand on cabriole legs ornamented with pagodas, figures, and flowers, terminating in pad feet. The wood finish shows detailed gold motifs across the frames. Measuring 90.2 cm high, 50.8 cm wide, and 48.3 cm deep, this pair is suited for placement in a traditional hallway, drawing room, or dining area as decorative seating or accent chairs.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century Dutch lacquered furniture is defined by European timber frames decorated with japanning techniques designed to imitate Asian lacquerwork. These pieces often feature gilded chinoiserie landscapes, figures, and floral motifs set against dark background finishes.

These side chairs were constructed using solid timber frames covered in multiple layers of varnish or resin paint known as japanning. Gilded highlights were applied using gold leaf or metallic powders, while seats were traditionally upholstered in silk damask, velour, or needlework.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved elements such as vase-shaped splats and cabriole legs with peg joinery. The painted and lacquered surfaces typically exhibit natural craquelure, subtle wear around touch points, and hand-applied gilt ornamentation rather than modern stencil work.

Chinoiserie side chairs can serve as statement accent pieces when placed symmetrically on either side of a console table or mantelpiece. Their ornate gilded patterns provide visual contrast against minimalist contemporary backdrops and neutral wall colours.

Maintain lacquered surfaces by placing them away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fluctuations in humidity to prevent timber movement and cracking. Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or abrasive cleaning compounds.
