Antique Side, Elbow & Armchairs | Refined Antique Seating

This category brings together two closely related furniture types: the side chair, typically armless and sometimes used in multiples, and the elbow chair, its armrest-bearing counterpart, often found at the head of a table or placed individually as a statement piece.

We curate a refined and regularly changing selection of antique side chairs, elbow chairs and English armchairs from the Georgian period through to the early 20th century. Whether you're seeking a single decorative chair for the bedroom, a matched pair for a fireside or a comfortable chair for reading, you’ll usually find something here that fits the brief.

Expect original finishes, honest wear and well-resolved proportions. The focus is always on British pieces crafted in fine timbers like mahogany, oak, elm and beech examples, with sound joinery and clean detailing. Some are decorative, others are practical. All are ready to place and include UK delivery as standard.
