A Fine Set of Ten Early 19th Century Mahogany Dining Chairs, Circa 1820

An impressive and highly decorative set of ten early 19th century mahogany dining chairs, comprising eight single chairs and two carvers, dating to circa 1820 and displaying the elegant characteristics associated with the late Regency and William IV periods.

Beautifully crafted in richly figured mahogany, each chair features a finely carved, gently curved top rail with scrolling foliate decoration to either end, complemented by an exceptionally attractive carved and shaped central back rail. Other measurements: Seat Height 45 cm, Seat Depth and Width 41 cm.

The two carver chairs are distinguished by their elegant sweeping arms, terminating in boldly carved scrolls. All ten chairs stand on finely turned and reeded front legs, with gracefully swept sabre legs to the rear.

The mahogany retains a wonderful depth of colour and a rich, mellow patina acquired over many years, highlighting the quality of the timber and craftsmanship.

A particularly handsome and well-proportioned set, retaining much of its original character and charm. The seats are offered in their present condition, ready for reupholstery in a fabric of the purchaser’s choice.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and remarkably original set of ten matching dining chairs, equally suited to a traditional dining room or a more contemporary interior.

Condition: Good antique condition to the frames. Seats require reupholstery.
