How do I date an antique chair?

Study the leg shape, back design and joinery. Cabriole legs point to Louis XV, fluted tapering legs to Louis XVI, and rounded medallion backs to Napoleon III. A maker's stamp beneath the seat rail often confirms the dating and adds significant value.

What is the price range for antique chairs?

A good everyday antique chair typically sells for between £80 and £400. A stamped pair or a complete matched set can reach several thousand pounds. Style, upholstery condition, rarity of the model and the presence of a maker's signature all influence the final price.

Is it better to buy antique chairs individually or as a set?

Matched sets of six, eight or twelve chairs are rarer and hold their value better at resale. For decorative use, a pair is often sufficient. When buying a set, verify that all pieces share consistent dimensions, patina and upholstery to confirm they are genuinely en suite.

How should I care for antique wooden chairs?

Feed the wood once or twice a year with a natural wax or appropriate oil. Avoid direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels. For original fabric upholstery, always use a professional dry-cleaning service to preserve the fibres and avoid irreversible damage.

Can antique chairs purchased on Antiquités en France be shipped internationally?

Yes. Every listed dealer handles professional packing and delivery, both within France and abroad. Contact the seller directly for a shipping quote tailored to the fragility and dimensions of the pieces you are interested in.
