This is a fine quality antique English set of 12 Arts & Crafts chairs, made from solid oak, in the style of Edward Barnsley, who was one of the most important cabinetmakers of the 20th century. 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 set comprises twelve side chairs. The 12 Arts & Crafts chairs are designed with a horizontal “comb-back” top rail, secured by a bank of moulded bars, decorated with scribe moulding across the frames, constructed in solid oak. The chairs have been newly upholstered in top quality oatmeal colour hardwearing hopsack chenille weave upholstery. The chair frames are constructed using the traditional joined peg construction method. The chairs stand on moulded block front legs, with sabre rear legs and the seat frame features a simple moulded front rail, secured by four stretchers, for additional strength.
Edward Barnsley first produced this design for the coronation of Edward VIII in 1936. This style of chair was sometimes referred to as a “Cotswold” or “School” chair; the design of which was influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement.
This set of 12 Arts & Crafts chairs boasts the original polish; therefore, they have a fantastic depth of colour and patination, displaying a lovely mellow colour.
