This pair of George II side chairs dates from the Georgian period and comes in rich brown mahogany with terracotta floral tapestry upholstery. Each chair has a shaped top rail, a central vasiform splat flanked by shaped moulded supports, and a seat trimmed with a row of brass studs. The framework includes reeded cabriole front legs ending in pad feet, connected by a block and turned H stretcher. The wood displays a warm polished finish with natural grain variations. Measuring 70 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 52 cm deep, these chairs suit placement around a dining table, in a study, or as occasional seating in a drawing room or hallway. Their classic English country house style blends easily into traditional and period-inspired interiors while providing sturdy seating for daily use.

FAQs

George II side chairs, dating from around 1727 to 1760, are characterised by solid mahogany frames, curved splat backsoften vasiform or splat-shapedand graceful cabriole front legs ending in pad, claw-and-ball, or scroll feet.

Primary timbers relied heavily on imported West Indian mahogany, valued for its density and rich colour. Secondary timbers often included pine, oak, or beech, while seats were framed and upholstered using horsehair padding and floral needlepoint or wool tapestry.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, dark oxidisation on secondary timbers beneath the seats, hand-carved details with subtle variations, and natural wear patterns on feet and stretcher rails.

These chairs can be integrated as accent seating flanking a console table in an entryway, placed in an empty corner, or paired alongside modern minimalist dining tables to introduce texture and historical contrast.

Maintain timber frames by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep upholstery away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to prevent fabric fading and timber shrinkage.
