Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1900s.
The chair frames features an elegant shaped Louis XV style reeded frieze with very pretty cabriole legs to the front and sabre legs to the rear (a sign of quality). The legs are united by an elegant reeded cross-stretcher for added sturdiness. This set of chairs retains their original polish, which is why the chairs have a fantastic depth of colour and patination. They boast a lovely rich brown beech colour; it is impossible to re-create this colour if the chairs have been re-polished. The chairs have drop in seats (removable), which have been newly upholstered in top quality hard wearing taupe shade wool & cotton upholstery. The seats are firm but comfortable. The chairs are very comfortable, solid in joint and would look good in either a traditional or contemporary setting.
The chairs feature a rich brown colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through the years of care and cleaning they have received. This truly is a very beautiful set of chairs with quality construction and is original throughout. It is rare to see one in such good condition.
Condition Report:
This set of dining chairs is in excellent condition. This is a “true” set of dining chairs; i.e. they have not been matched together from smaller sets of chairs. They are of excellent quality, with a very robust design and are heavy in weight. The chairs retain their original polish; which is why they boast such a rich colour and patination; it is impossible to re-create this colour if the chairs have been re-polished. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and minor colour variation but nothing significant considering the age of the chairs. The drop-in seats have been freshly re-upholstered in taupe shade wool & cotton upholstery. The upholstery is therefore clean, free from wear and marks. There are no breaks to the backs, frames or legs of any of the chairs. The seat frames and chair joints are also solid in joint.
