Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English set of 12 oak Arts & Crafts chairs, attributed to the one of the most important cabinetmakers of the 20th century, Edward Barnsley. Ideal for use as a large set of kitchen or dining chairs, circa 1935, they have been newly upholstered and are in excellent condition.
...The chair frames have been glued, cleaned and wax-polished (with a clear wax) to a professional standard, therefore they boast a lovely colour and patination. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair frames but nothing significant considering the age of the chairs. The drop-in seats have been newly upholstered in hardwearing patterned silk damask upholstery. The upholstery is therefore clean, free from wear and marks. If you do not like the colour/style of the upholstery, we can recover the seats in a fabric of your choice. If you would like the seats recovered, please contact us for a quote. The chair frames and joints are all in excellent condition, solid in joint with no breaks; the chairs are ready to be used.
