How many chairs come in a typical set?

Sets commonly appear in groups of four, six, or eight chairs to fit standard dining tables. Larger suites of fourteen or fifteen pieces occasionally surface from larger country houses. Buyers should confirm whether an expanded set was gathered later or manufactured together as a unified dining room commission.

Can I mix these chairs with a modern table?

The rich dark tones of walnut timber contrast effectively with glass, metal, or light oak contemporary dining tables. Their compact footprints allow them to slide neatly beneath most standard table heights. Consider the seat height and arm clearance when pairing antique carvers with modern pedestal tables.

How do I care for antique walnut frames?

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry cloth and applying occasional quality beeswax to nourish the polished surface. Avoid placing chairs in direct sunlight or near heat sources that might dry out the wood. Checking frame joints periodically ensures structural stability during daily use.

What is the difference between side chairs and carvers?

Side chairs lack arms and feature narrower seats designed to line the long sides of a dining table. Carver chairs include supportive elbow rests and generous proportions intended for the heads of the table. Traditional dining arrangements paired a matched set of side chairs with two matching carvers.
