18th century
For Sale by Moxhams Antiques
Description

A pair of George II veneered walnut chairs of an original colour and patina. Good bold cabriole legs & generous depth, pierced back splats; the seats covered in fragments of 18th Century tapestry; the back legs in ash.

For comparison, see Adam Bowett’s Early Georgian Furniture 1715-40. Plate 4:77 illustrates a chair with very similar front & back legs & a vertically veneered seat rail & drop in seat he dates circa 1735-50. Plate 4:110 shows a mahogany chair circa 1740 with a back splat with some similar piercing to our chairs.

European walnut was used mainly in the first half of the 18th century before imported mahogany became available. This style of cabriole leg was used mainly from 1710-50.

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.

FAQs

George II furniture, dating roughly from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by the extensive use of walnut and mahogany, carved cabriole legs, pad or claw-and-ball feet, and elaborate splat designs that transitioned from Queen Anne minimalism into early Rococo detailing.

Chairs from this period were predominantly crafted using solid walnut or walnut veneers applied over native timber frameworks such as oak or pine, featuring drop-in seats upholstered in needlework, tapestry, or damask.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-cut joinery, original corner blocking inside the seat rails, natural wood shrinkage around joints, and genuine oxidation on unrefined underside surfaces.

These period chairs can be integrated into contemporary schemes by placing them around a sleek minimalist dining table, using them as hallway accent seating, or updating the drop-in seat cushions with modern linen textiles.

Preserve walnut furniture by positioning it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and applying a quality beeswax polish periodically to protect the veneer.
