Oak chair, antique walnut finish
Oak holds a dark stain without going muddy, which is why a walnut-coloured chair built for wear is usually oak underneath.

Why oak under a dark stain
Open-grained timber takes stain unevenly and shows it: the grain lines go almost black while the flat faces stay pale, and the result reads as paint rather than timber. Oak has a tight, dense grain that takes a dark stain evenly across the whole face.
It also holds a screw and a tenon better than softer species, so a dark chair built in oak keeps its joints through the kind of use that loosens lighter timber.
Antique finish without the age
Antique walnut is a stain plus a glaze that darkens the corners and the recesses. On a new chair it reads as depth; on a chair that is genuinely old the same look comes from handling, and the difference shows when a run has to be extended later.
Ordering the full run at once keeps the finish consistent. Adding twelve chairs two years later will show, because glaze lots vary and the timber underneath has aged differently.
