Set of Seven Antique Georgian Hepplewhite Dining Chairs Circa 1790
A superb set of Hepplewhite design dining chairs. Dating from the late Georgian period and made from solid mahogany with open pierced spindles, finishing with carved flared capitals.

There are period signs of wear to to the cross stretchers and square tapering legs which you would expect to see on chairs of this date Along with good quality dark mahogany timber which was selected at this time.

The carver interestingly has a small but noticeable wear area on the left hand arm which we think is a wedding ring mark from the head of the household.

Dimensions:
Height:
from the floor to the top of the back 37 inches

Height:
from the top of the seat to the floor 18.5 inches

Width:
18.5 inches at the front tapering to 15.5 at the back

Depth:
20 inches

In excellent solid condition there are a few signs of repair on two of the chairs but all in all in superb condition.

The drop in seat pads have been upholstered and finished with a calico fabric, ready for the finishing top fabric. So the new owners can choose a fabric design/colour of your choice.

We have regular deliveries to London and to the Midlands. We pride ourselves on the quality and accuracy of our descriptions.

Dartington Antiques was recently chosen by the BBC for the quality of our furniture.

If you are unable to view in person we always offer a full refund if you are not satisfied once you have received the antique. This has yet to happen.

A Pair of Regency, Late George III Childrens Correction (Deportment) Chairs
An unusual and delightful pair of Late Georgian Deportment Chairs, made from solid mahogany with a lovely patina.

Normally this type is found singly, dating many decades later with a caned seat.

The original Georgian 'Naughty Chair'. Children were made to sit on this type of chair to correct bad posture. They were also used in Nurseries as a form of punishment. The child would have to sit on them with a very straight back otherwise they would fall off the seat. Now they would look fantastic with two nice Teddy Bears or if you have very naughty twins!
