About the Item
Set of Four Georgian Elm Chippendale Country Dining Chairs, George III, Late 18th Century
A particularly attractive and honest set of four Georgian elm dining chairs, dating from the late 18th century, George III period, circa 1770–1790. What makes this set especially appealing is the survival of all four chairs together, in matching form and condition, and without obvious later alterations or restoration — something that is increasingly uncommon with country chairs of this type, many of which have been mixed, strengthened, or rebuilt over time.
Each chair is constructed in solid elm and features a shaped yoke top rail above a pierced vasiform splat, with single-piece plank seats showing bold natural grain. The square legs are united by H-stretchers, giving the chairs excellent strength and practicality, just as originally intended. The colour and surface have developed naturally over more than two centuries and retain a pleasing, mellow patina, giving the set considerable warmth and character.
These are genuine Georgian country chairs with strong visual presence, well suited to everyday dining use, while also appealing to buyers who value originality, untouched surface, and the integrity of a true surviving set.
A full set of additional images is available on request.
Dimensions (approximate):
Height: 95 cm (37.5 in)
Width: 47.5 cm (18.75 in)
Depth: 47 cm (18.5 in)
Seat height: 44.5 cm (17.5 in)
Condition:
The chairs are in very good original condition, structurally sound and sturdy, with no loose joints. They retain excellent colour and surface, with a lightly waxed finish that preserves the original patina. There are some minor marks and blemishes consistent with age and long use, along with a few small, natural age splits to the edges of a couple of seats. Light traces of old historic worm, typical of elm, are present, fully treated and not structurally significant. There are no significant damages and no obvious repairs.
The set has been carefully cleaned and wax-polished in our workshop, with the original surfaces preserved as far as possible, and they are now ready for everyday use. As with all antique furniture, signs of wear, marks and imperfections are to be expected and form part of the historic character of the piece.

Set Of Six Georgian Walnut Dining Chairs
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
An Extremely Charming Set Of Six Mid 18th Century, Georgian, Chippendale Period, Solid Walnut Country House Type Dining Chairs, Having Very Attractive Pierced Splat Backs With Scrolling Top Rails Over Upholstered Drop In Seats Raised On Square Chamfered Legs And Stretchers, Retaining Exceptional Untouched Colour And Patina Throughout.
This lovely set of 18th century country house type dining chairs are a purists dream. They retain a wonderful colour and surface to the walnut timbers and have clearly been well loved and looked after throughout their lives.
Stylistically they have a slighty more formal feel to them than many sets of country dining chairs, although there is no doubt whatsoever that they retain that sought after english country furniture charm.
The seat upholstery is in reasonable condition, more than acceptable for something that we would imagine has been in place for around 50 or 60 years perhaps. There are however a few old marks, scuffs and minor stains to the upholstery, so the ease and relative inexpense of reupholstering 6 drop in seats is another added plus point.
These chairs are one of our favourite recent purchases...
