Antique Spoonback Chairs

The Spoonback chair design stems from the back of the chair being shaped like the bowl of a spoon. Produced during the Victorian era, these chairs offer a unique appearance, and were often mass produced.

The styles from the Regency period were out of favour by 1835 and fashions trended towards furniture that was more ornate with plenty of curves and a little carving. As large numbers of the population moved into the industrial cities, there was a trend to show off wealth, or at least the impression of wealth, and the more ornate designs of spoonback and balloon back chairs became fashionable. Mahogany and walnut being very popular.
