Antique Edwardian Dark Walnut Upholstered Stick Back Small Nursing Chair C1890

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Edwardian Dark Walnut Nursing Chair.

An attractive nursing chair.

We are offering for sale this lovely condition Walnut nursing chair made in the Edwardian period C1890. This chair features a shaped top rail to a simple stick back with a shield serpentine seat completed with an upholstered pad. The chair stands on simple turned legs legs with H stretchers between.

This chair has been recently re-upholstered (approximately 5 years ago) to a high standard in a gold Brocade material which is in a fantastic clean condition with virtually no wear (from a smoke and pet free home). The material could be left as it because of its fantastic used condition or it could be fully upholstered to your taste. We would be able to quote for re-upholstering this chair for you if you enquire.

This item is structurally solid, in good order with no loose joints. The material and traditional inner padding seems to be in very good condition and the chair is comfortable to sit in. The chair does have a minor old repair to the top rail but it has been done well and is strong.

Please note this item is in very good condition for its age but does have some signs of wear and tear, however, we feel that these points are which adds to part of its charm and character with it being antique.

This Edwardian nursing chair dates from circa 1890 and is constructed from dark walnut with a dark brown finish. The design incorporates a shaped top rail, a simple stick back, a shield serpentine seat with an upholstered pad, simple turned legs, and an H-stretcher. The upholstered pad features a patterned yellow fabric. The chair stands 76 cm high, 39 cm wide, and 44 cm deep. It is structurally solid and in good order, displaying a minor old repair to the top rail and typical signs of wear and tear appropriate for an antique. In a home today, this seating option is suitable for placement in a bedroom, sitting room, or dressing area. It provides a comfortable seat with a low profile, making it practical for daily use while adding traditional English country house character to the interior space.

Nursing chairs originated in the nineteenth century as low-seated, armless chairs intended to assist mothers during infant care and dressing. The absence of arms accommodated wide skirts, while the low height enabled easy access to lower domestic tasks.

Edwardian seating commonly utilised solid timbers such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. Upholstery frequently incorporated woven brocades, damasks, or velvet fabrics secured over traditional horsehair or spring padding.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-turned spindles, hand-cut joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and natural age-related patination on the timber. Lower seating heights and specific turned leg profiles also distinguish genuine period nursing chairs.

A compact nursing chair can serve as an accent piece in a bedroom corner, hallway, or dressing room. Placing it alongside contemporary textiles or minimalist furniture creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Dust timber elements regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the finish. Fabric seats should be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
