About the Item

Fine Set of Four Regency Brass-Inlaid Dining Chairs, circa 1830 Material: Beech, Brass, Damask Fabric A particularly fine set of four English Regency dining chairs dating to circa 1830, distinguished by elaborate hand-cut brass inlay, finely carved decoration and elegant sabre-leg profiles. The chairs are constructed from beech and skilfully grained to imitate the appearance of rosewood, a decorative technique employed to achieve the rich visual character of this highly prized and expensive exotic timber. Each chair features an elegant tablet-form crest rail surmounted by finely carved decoration worked in the solid, incorporating trailing bell husks, vines, leaves and seedpod motifs. The tablet rails are particularly impressive, embellished with delicate hand-cut brass inlay depicting scrolling foliage, flowers and sinuous vine motifs. The brass remains remarkably complete, with no noted missing sections, and has developed an attractive warm natural patina. Further carved ornament appears across the central rails, with scrolling foliage complementing the more intricate brass decoration above. The frames terminate in elegantly swept sabre legs, creating the distinctive neoclassical profile associated with Regency seating of the early 19th century. Each chair has a comfortable overstuffed seat upholstered in rich crimson cut damask fabric, providing an effective contrast with the dark rosewood-effect finish and warm tones of the brass inlay. The chairs remain remarkably solid and sturdy after almost two centuries, with no noted later elements or repairs to the frames and no significant movement or weakness within the joints. Presented in very good antique condition, with minor historic dings and scuffs consistent with age and careful use. There are a small number of old inactive woodworm holes within the seat rails and several minor dents to the reverse of one tablet rail. The upholstery remains in good condition. An elegant and highly decorative set of four Regency dining chairs combining sophisticated brass inlay, accomplished hand carving, rosewood-effect decoration and classic sabre-leg construction.
