Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Bookmatched burr walnut splats: late Victorian cabinet making.
Natural creasing and surface crazing across the leather: long domestic use.
Carved foliate crest rails and claw feet: late nineteenth-century Queen Anne revival.
Soft wear to the armrests and leg knees: honest handling over time.

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.

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.

This set of six 19th century Victorian dining chairs comprises a pair of elbow chairs and four single chairs, all constructed from warm brown walnut with burr walnut centre splats and original leather seats finished with brass studs. The chairs exhibit carved cresting on the shaped tops, shaped open arms on the elbow chairs, cabriole legs terminating in ball and claw feet, and outswept back legs. The single chairs measure 104 cm high, 58 cm wide, and 49 cm deep. Ideal for placement around a dining table in a traditional dining room or country house setting, these sturdy chairs provide practical seating for daily meals or formal gatherings. The combination of carved walnut frames and supple leather upholstery brings classic 1890 period character and comfortable seating to an interior space.

FAQs

Victorian revival dining chairs typically draw inspiration from 18th-century period styles, incorporating hand-carved detailing, vase-shaped back splats, and cabriole legs ending in ball and claw feet.

Craftsmen utilised solid walnut timber prized for its dense grain structure, often paired with hide or leather upholstery secured to the frame with brass studding.

Authentic period pieces display crisp hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, genuine age-related surface patina, and historic upholstery fixing methods.

Pairing carved wooden dining chairs with a simple contemporary oak or glass dining table creates an engaging contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Dust wooden frames regularly with a dry cloth and apply beeswax polish annually, while maintaining leather upholstery with a dedicated leather conditioner to avoid drying.
