Set of 8 Early Victorian Rosewood Balloon-back Dining Chairs

A good set of eight solid rosewood balloon-back dining chairs dating to the early Victorian period. With waisted backs and pierced and acanthus carved top and cross rails. The D-shaped seats have serpentine fronts and pink velvet upholstery with a continuous band of narrow moulding below running along the seat rail and down the slender cabriole legs which terminate in scroll feet. The back legs are slightly tapering and sweep to the back.

These are in good original solid condition with no wobbles, signs of breaks or splits and free of wood worm. The seat upholstery does have some marks but still have plenty of life left in them if you did not want to reupholster them.

Please read the important information below for more details and information.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
