The harlequin (matched) set of French oak kitchen chairs comprises two armchairs and six side chairs. The side chairs feature a shaped top rail with a floral carved cartouche and two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design between shaped upright supports. The chairs incorporate “drop-in” rush seats, all of which are in good overall condition (the seats are currently screwed to the seat frame). The shaped seat frame is decorated with a floral carved cartouche. The seats are raised on fine cabriole legs to the front, with straight legs to the rear, all of which are united by turned twin stretchers for added strength and stability.
Likewise, the two armchairs are decorated with floral carved cartouches to the top rail, with two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design in-between shaped upright supports. The chairs backs are secured by sturdy shaped arms, raised on formed vertical supports. The chairs feature “drop-in” rush seats, all of which are in good condition (the seats are currently screwed to the seat frame).
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique harlequin set of eight French kitchen chairs in the Louis XV style, made from solid oak, with a ladder-back design, featuring drop-in rush seats, circa 1920, in good original condition. This is a harlequin (matched) set of French oak chairs comprising two armchairs and six side chairs. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair frames have been glued and the wood has been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. There is minor colour variation to the set of chairs. The chairs incorporate drop-in rush woven seats, which show signs of age and wear (some surface fraying) but are perfectly functional and in-keeping with the age of the chairs - they are solid in joint and are of good quality. The eight French kitchen chairs are heavy, which is a sign of good quality and ensures they are sturdy. The oak chairs are solid in joint, they do not wobble and are ready to use.
