Georgian Hepplewhite Walnut Side Chairs, Camel Back, English Circa 1785

About the Item

This is a very elegant PAIR of good quality Side or Dining Chairs, from the late 18th Century, George 111rd Hepplewhite period, circa 1785. Camel back chairs of this date are popularly called Hepplewhite because very many chair makers followed the designs of George Hepplewhite, as illustrated in his Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers Guide, published in 1788. The chairs have a balanced and flowing, crisply carved back splat, based around the Prince of Wales plumes. They have typical wide seats as Georgian period chairs should have and they were probably originally, part of a much larger set of dining chairs that have become separated, over the decades. The top and side rails of the back are moulded and the legs are square tapered with an inside chamfer, braced by dovetailed stretchers. The seats are overstuffed in a light blue fabric and they have a dished shape. The chairs are made from hardwood, probably walnut and have a very good naturally patinated colour.
