Know before you buy
This piece features a beautifully aged patina consistent with its 18th-century origins, showcasing the natural character of the walnut. The upholstery is maintained to complement the chair's historic aesthetic while remaining functional for modern use.
With a seat height of 18.5 inches, this chair sits at a standard height that is comfortable for most adults. It is well-suited for use as a desk chair, a standalone accent piece, or as part of a formal seating arrangement.
While it is a refined antique, the chair is built with the sturdy craftsmanship characteristic of 18th-century English furniture. It is perfectly capable of regular use, though we recommend placing it in a low-traffic area to preserve its finish and structural integrity.
The chair measures 25 inches wide by 26 inches deep. Given its 48-inch height, it has a significant visual presence, so it works best in rooms with enough clearance to appreciate its turned details and proportions.
To maintain the aged patina, avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight, which can fade the wood over time. A light dusting with a soft, dry cloth is sufficient; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that could damage the historic finish.
