Webberley Antiques has dated these Regency Brass Dining Chairs to the 19th Century.
A particularly fine set of four dining chairs made in c. 1830.
The rails with exquisite hand cut brass inlaid panels of delicate vines and intricately scrolled foliage and flowers.
The mid rail carved in the solid with scrolls and foliage.
The chairs frames are beech and have been grained to look like rosewood, very effectively so, and this was common practice as rosewood was a very expensive timber and difficult to work.
With sabre legs and overstuffed seats covered with a crimson cut damask in good condition throughout.
A few inactive, long dead, worm holes in seat rails (very few), minor dings and scuffs consistent with age and careful use. One tablet rail at back with a few small dents. Vey solid and sturdy. No repairs or later elements to the frames and no movement or weakeness in joints. The brass as good as the day it was inlaid with no missing sections and with lovely natural and warm patination.
In very good condition for age and usable, sturdy and very comfortable. A testament to the maker that after 200 years these chairs are still so beautiful, usable and as made.
These wonderful chairs can be viewed in Calne, Wiltshire, by arrangement.
