ANTIQUE PAIR OF VICTORIAN SOLID OAK CARVED HALLWAY CHAIRS WITH LION PAW FEET

Antiques of London

A striking pair of Victorian solid oak carved hallway chairs, beautifully hand-crafted in the late 19th century. These chairs are rich with Gothic revival character and display the exceptional quality of Victorian craftsmanship.

The high, shield-shaped backs are intricately carved with scrollwork, heraldic motifs, and decorative panels, giving the chairs an imposing presence. Each chair features a stylised central shield with finely detailed flourishes, embodying the grandeur of the period.

The robust, solid oak seats rest on elegantly shaped cabriole legs, terminating in finely carved lion paw feet - a detail symbolic of strength and status in traditional Victorian design. Additional carved motifs adorn the knees of the legs, further showcasing the skill of the maker.

These chairs would have originally graced a hallway or entrance, serving both functional and decorative purposes. They remain sturdy and full of character, with an aged patina that adds depth and authenticity. Signs of gentle wear are present, consistent with their age, which only enhances their historic appeal.

The price shown on the listing is just a guide. Please get in touch with us directly to request a quote before buying and not after.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Worldwide Shipping

We offer to coordinate and schedule deliveries to the rest of the world, all you need to do is send us your Postcode/Zip-code, and we will send you a quote.

Delivery can take 2-4 weeks within Europe and Air freight for countries outside of the EU; on some rare occasions, it can take slightly longer.

Sea freight delivery can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
