Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Arm rests rubbed pale on the upper curves: many years of handling.
Square tapering legs with H-stretchers: standard late Georgian dining chair construction.
Reeded uprights and carved whorl paterae: classic Sheraton taste.
Bow-front seat rails housing drop-in seat pads: typical cabinet work of the 1790s.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This set of eight late eighteenth-century George III Sheraton period dining chairs comprises six single chairs and two armchairs executed in mahogany with a rich warm brown timber colour and patina. The pieces display tapering square-section legs united by H-stretchers, bow-fronted seat rails, reeded uprights, inset panel backs, and carved open-work lumbar splats centred with carved rosette roundels. The two armchairs include scroll armrests with paterae details to the terminals, while all eight chairs feature drop-in seats upholstered in patterned yellow fabric. Each individual chair measures 85 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 50 cm deep. Well-suited for placement around a substantial dining table in a traditional dining room or a formal reception space, these seating items offer practical scale and proportions combined with restrained classical design. The set remains in ready-to-use condition, providing ample seating for family gatherings or dinner parties in a home today. The timeless mahogany construction and classic Sheraton styling allow them to integrate seamlessly into period interiors or classic country house settings.

FAQs

Designed during the late eighteenth century, Sheraton style dining chairs are defined by neoclassical geometry, square or rectangular back frames, reeded details, and subtle central splat ornaments such as rosettes or urns.

Primary frames were predominantly crafted from high-grade Cuban or West Indian mahogany, valued for its density and deep colour, assembled with hand-cut mortise and tenon joints and upholstered using natural horsehair padding.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-planing on the undersides, irregular hand-cut dovetails or corner blocks, age-appropriate patination on the timber, and hand-forged steel or wooden fixing pins.

Georgian dining chairs create a balanced contrast when positioned around a minimalist modern table, bridging historic timber craftsmanship with contemporary architectural surroundings.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the grain. Avoid placement near direct heat sources or high humidity to prevent timber movement and joint shrinkage.
