A beautifully carved late 19th century side chair, crafted in solid walnut and richly detailed throughout with flowing scrollwork and refined ornamentation.

Tall elegant back with pierced cresting
Shaped uprights with flowing scrollwork throughout
Finely carved cabriole legs
Original tapestry upholstery with delicate floral motif

Craftsmanship & Detail

The chair features a tall, elegant back with pierced cresting and shaped uprights, the flowing scrollwork and refined ornamentation carved with considerable confidence and skill. The finely carved cabriole legs complete a form of well-resolved elegance entirely characteristic of the finest late 19th century walnut furniture. The original tapestry upholstery - decorated with a delicate floral motif in soft, muted tones - complements the warm colour and natural patina of the walnut frame beautifully, adding both comfort and decorative appeal. Elegant, decorative, and versatile - working equally well in traditional, country house, or eclectic interiors.

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
