Here is an example of a very good quality set of 6 antique Victorian mahogany carved balloon back dining chairs, circa 1860 - 1880. This set of chairs retains the original polish, which is why the chairs have a fantastic depth of colour. They boast a lovely rich brown mahogany colour; it is impossible to re-create this colour if the chairs have been re-polished. The drops in seats are upholstered with a top quality duck egg & cream brocade upholstery and offer a firm seat. The chairs feature an attractive “balloon” shaped back with a floral carved central splat; ring turned & fluted front legs and sabre rear legs. The backs of the legs are shaped which is a sign of good quality. The chairs are firm and would look good anywhere in either a formal room or for in a room for everyday use.
