How do I identify a true Georgian chair?

Examine the timber, construction methods, and design motifs such as pierced splats or carved cabriole legs. True pieces date from the reigns of the Georges between 1714 and 1830. Look closely at the underside and joinery for signs of period hand-working rather than modern machine production.

Can I mix single chairs with a modern table?

These chairs pair effectively with contemporary dining tables to create a striking contrast of old and new materials. Their varied woods like mahogany and walnut add warmth to modern interiors. Ensure the seat heights match your table clearance for comfortable daily dining.

How should I care for antique wood seats?

Maintain the wood by applying appropriate natural waxes sparingly and avoiding direct sunlight or radiator heat. This preserves the historic patination and prevents the timber from splitting. Check the joints periodically to ensure the frame remains stable during use.

What is the difference between Chippendale and Hepplewhite styles?

Chippendale designs often feature interlaced ribbon or ladder backs with carved cabriole or straight legs. Hepplewhite pieces typically display shield-shaped or oval backs with slender tapered legs. Both styles utilise mahogany extensively but handle carved ornamentation through distinct geometric vocabularies.
