Dining Chairs

By the mid 18th century large sets of Dining Chairs were being produced in a variety of styles. Often there were two chairs with arms & a number without arms called side chairs. Although sometimes all the chairs had arms. The chairs were wooden, frequently mahogany, with upholstered seats that were either “drop-in” or “stuffover”. The style of carving & decoration altered from the Chippendale period to the Hepplewhite & Sheraton periods and into the Regency with certain styles re-appearing later in the 19th century.
