This set of six 18th century Georgian dining chairs is crafted from dark brown mahogany and dates from around 1780. The design incorporates reeded vertical splats in the backrests, flame mahogany top rails, and tapered square legs, complemented by lift-out seat pads upholstered in hand-worked needlepoint tapestry featuring floral motifs in pink, green, and yellow on a dark background. Each chair measures 86 cm high, 48 cm wide, and 41 cm deep, with a seat height of 43 cm, offering a lightweight yet strong seating arrangement. Suitable for use around a dining table in a traditional or country house setting, these chairs provide a comfortable seat for everyday use or formal dining. The set remains in good strong condition, ready for placement in a dining room, kitchen, or study to introduce period character and classic English seating design to an interior space.

FAQs

Georgian dining chairs typically feature solid mahogany or walnut construction, classic proportions, and refined details such as splat backs, reeded uprights, tapered legs, and drop-in upholstered seats.

Craftsmen predominantly utilised mahogany or oak timber for frames, alongside horsehair padding and hand-woven tapestry, needlepoint, or leather fabrics for original seat coverings.

Authentic Georgian pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut joinery, original patination across the wood surface, and minor structural variations indicative of period handcraftsmanship.

Pairing a set of dark mahogany Georgian chairs with a minimalist contemporary dining table creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern aesthetic simplicity.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth, apply high-quality beeswax annually along the grain, and position the furniture away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to preserve the finish.
