Description:?
 
This is a fine quality antique English single Georgian dining chair, solid mahogany, in the style of the Chippendale period, with a newly upholstered red leather seat, in good condition.  Ideal for use as an office / desk or occasional chair around the home. This single George III chair is constructed of top-quality solid mahogany and features a shaped top rail, with a finely executed pierced central fretwork back splat, decorated with an embossed central floral cartouche. The back splat is flanked by vertical moulded rails, securing the seat frame, which is decorated with twin-moulding.  The Georgian dining chair features a drop-in seat.  The chair frame has been constructed in the traditional manner, with mortise and tenon joints, finished with pegged dowels. The seat has been newly upholstered in top quality dark red leather, finished with traditional hessian backing to the underside - it is therefore in excellent and clean condition, with no marks. The seat is very comfortable and provides ample support (you do not sink into the seat).  The Georgian dining chair is constructed with moulded chamfered block legs to the front and sabre legs to the rear, united by ‘H’ stretchers for additional strength.

The seat is very comfortable and provides ample support (you do not sink into the seat).  If you do not like the leather, we will recover the seat in a fabric or leather of your choice (we charge £3...
