Description

A delightful pair of Victorian balloon-back side chairs with elegantly curved solid timber frames and finely carved central splats.

The warm dark finish and turned front legs give them a classic 19th-century parlour look, perfect as bedroom, hallway or occasional chairs.

Both chairs have generously padded seats upholstered in a floral damask-style fabric in cream and soft brown tones.

The upholstery is in excellent condition and the seat height of approx. 43 cm makes them comfortable for everyday use.

The frames are strong and stable with visible age-related marks and small surface imperfections that reflect their age and use, adding authentic antique character without affecting solidity.

Seat height: 43 cm

Very good antique condition.

Frames solid and stable with visible wear and small marks consistent with age; upholstery in excellent, clean condition.

Ready to place and enjoy.

FAQs

The balloon back style, prominent during the Victorian era, features a continuous, rounded backrest resembling the shape of a balloon, often adorned with central carved splats and intricate floral or scroll motifs.

These chairs are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved details, and traditional sprung or webbed upholstery padded with horsehair or cotton.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, handmade screw or nail fixings, natural timber ageing, and hand-carved ornamentation rather than moulded resin or machine-stamped uniformity.

They can be used as eclectic accent pieces paired with a contemporary minimalist dining table to create visual contrast, or placed individually as occasional seating in a bedroom or hallway.

Preservation involves keeping wooden frames away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and using specialist upholstery cleaners for the fabric.
