A Fine Set of Six George III 18th Century Gothic Chippendale Dining Chairs, 1760

About the Item

A fine and rare set of six 18th century George III architectural Chippendale gothic dining chairs, circa 1760. England. Made from beautifully patinated mahogany, these chairs are a testament to the enduring elegance of Chippendale design. The backs of the chairs are distinguished by their intricately carved, pierced splats, showcasing elegant Gothic arches and flowing tracery. These architectural motifs are further enhanced by finely detailed acanthus leaf carvings, after the grandeur of Gothic cathedrals. The shaped crest rails are adorned with scrolling details and a central cartouche, adding a sense of structure and balance to the design. Supported by square-section legs joined by stretchers. The chairs combine durability with architectural simplicity. The overall form is sculptural and functional. Each chair features a generously proportioned seat, traditionally upholstered in green damask with a subtle botanical pattern that echoes the natural motifs of the carvings. Chippendale’s Gothic chairs represent the pinnacle of 18th-century English craftsmanship, blending the elegance of Georgian furniture with the dramatic motifs of medieval Gothic architecture. These chairs, constructed from the finest mahogany, feature intricate tracery, pointed arches, and moulded legs that reflect the grandeur and sophistication of the period. Among the most celebrated examples are the Dundas Chairs (c. 1759–1762), commissioned for Aske Hall, Yorkshire, and attributed to Chippendale’s workshop. With finely carved pierced back splats, serpentine crests, and robust H-stretchers, these chairs exemplify the Gothic Chippendale aesthetic. Other significant commissions include the Wilton House Chairs (c. 1755), with their elegantly interlaced Gothic tracery, the Harewood House Chairs (c. 1770), which boast gilded detailing and sophisticated chamfering, and the Paxton House Chairs (c. 1774), part of an important Chippendale suite that remains in situ. The Nostell Priory Chairs (c. 1765), created for Sir Rowland Winn, represent some of the most complete surviving examples of Chippendale’s Gothic work, preserved in the National Trust collection. Likewise, the Beckford Chairs (c. 1766–1770), designed for one of the most discerning collectors of the period, showcase exceptional craftsmanship and Gothic ornamentation. Gothic Chippendale chairs are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance. For discerning collectors or those seeking to acquire a true masterpiece of period furniture, these Gothic Chippendale chairs represent an unparalleled investment in history, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
