This set of six Victorian revival dining chairs dates from the 19th century and is made from dark stained ash with a gold textured fabric upholstery covering the seat and back panels. Each piece stands on turned feet with barley twist legs, uprights and stretchers. The timber finish has a deep brown tone, complementing the striped pattern of the neutral fabric. Measuring 89 cm high, 48 cm wide and 47 cm deep, these side chairs fit comfortably around a dining table in a traditional or period home. They suit a formal dining room or a study, providing sturdy seating with an upholstered back panel for support during meals or gatherings.

FAQs

Barley twist chairs, popularized during the Jacobean Revival in the 19th century, feature distinct spiral-turned wood legs and stretchers mimicking Solomonic architectural columns. These pieces combine structured wood carving with padded upholstered seats and backrests.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised dense native hardwoods such as ash, oak, and walnut for the turned framework. The upholstery originally incorporated natural horsehair padding covered in heavy woven textiles, wool velvets, or leather.

Authentic 19th-century examples exhibit subtle hand-finished variations in the depth of the wood spirals, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural age-related wear around the lower stretchers and footrests.

These structured chairs can be grouped around a contemporary minimalist dining table to create visual contrast or placed individually as accent seating in foyers, bedrooms, and study spaces.

Dust the wood framework regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically to maintain the wood grain. Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and vacuum the upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment.
