The Georgian Settle


This is a good example of a truly delightful and original Georgian Oak Three panel 'Settle'.




This close up shows the Mahogany Cross banding, (the darker inlay being Mahogany).


The sculpted arms are typical of the period and so date this settle to Circa 1880.




The Cabriole style leg gracefully tapers to end with a Georgian Pad foot.

This is a strong and sturdy Bench that seats 3 people easily.






The Uprights between each panel are called the Muntins








The upholstered seat can be used either way up.

This one shown still retains its original under-seat webbing...! Amazing!


It measures: W4'6" x H3'6" x D2' approx.

This item and More to choose at London Road Retro and on Facebook

The Parlour chair

A Mahogany 'Balloon Back' Parlour Chair


The Victorian Parlour showcased the homeowner’s possessions and so, was a place where guests were entertained.

Victorian Mahogany Parlour Chairs
Spending on elegance and ornamentation was 'de-rigueur' of the day during Queen Victoria's reign, (1837-1901).

Interiors were noted for their orderliness with houses divided into rooms - with public and private spaces clearly divided.

The Parlour in Victorian times was the most important room in the house - Reflecting the interests and aspirations of its owners...!

The word Parlour can be traced back to the 16th Century.

Hepplewhite Style...

Georgian style (carved) Shield-back  Parlour Chair Design

George Hepplewhite chairs in particular were of a shield shaped back with Hepplewhite chair designs also featuring straight legs and elegantly carved and shortened armrests. These clearly differentiating His designs from his two more traditional contemporaries.

Hepplewhite gave his name to a style that is characterised by light, elegantly and ornately designed pieces. No Hepplewhite furniture is known to exist today.

Hepplewhite shield back designs were all without carvings and received ornamentation from either paint or inlay details used on the chair.

Hepplewhite was considered one of the big three designers and furniture makers at the time, along with Thomas' Chippendale and Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs have influenced ever since..


Georgian Splat back Chair.


Traditional designs of the time by Messrs Chippendale and Sheraton were of a more traditional 'Splat' back design.
