Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Pegged mortise and tenon joints: traditional early joiners' construction.
Hand-adzed tooling on the seat undersides: timber shaped before modern mechanised saws.
Deep, uneven wear to the front stretchers: generations of resting feet.
Solid vasiform splats with baluster-turned front legs: regional Queen Anne period styling.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

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.

These early 18th-century oak backstools form a matching pair of Queen Anne dining chairs in a warm brown timber. Each chair has a solid wooden seat, a vase splat back, turned front legs, and an H-stretcher. The timber shows natural grain variation, surface marks, and edge wear consistent with age and long-term use, while the upright posts terminate in simple block feet with rounded ends. The pair stands 95 cm high, 45 cm wide, and 42 cm deep, with a seat height of 42 cm and a seat depth of 33 cm. These chairs suit placement around a dining table or as accent seating in a traditional interior, hallway, or living space.

FAQs

Early 18th-century English oak chairs typically feature solid timber construction, vase-shaped back splats, turned front legs, and sturdy stretchers, marking a transition towards lighter Queen Anne silhouettes.

These pieces were crafted from solid English oak using mortise-and-tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, often accompanied by turned stretchers and solid timber seats.

Authentic period seating demonstrates hand-hewn construction marks, minor irregularities in turnings, natural timber shrinkage around joint pegs, and a dark patinated surface accumulated over centuries.

Pair them with a contemporary minimalist dining table for visual balance, or place them individually as accent seating in a hallway, bedroom alcove, or study.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
