Set of Twelve Victorian Satin Walnut Dining Chairs (12)

A very nice set of twelve Victorian satin walnut dining chairs comprising two carver armchairs and ten side chairs. With shaped bar backs and a horizontal splat above a drop-in seat on turned tapering front legs and slightly outsplayed legs to the back. The armchairs have shaped arms on turned baluster supports. With dark blue velvet covered drop-in seats.

All in solid condition, with some nice grain to the backs and of a warm colour that looks good alongside honey oak. There are some old worm holes, some of which were present in the timber prior to construction, to some backs and seat supports. A screw has been added to the top of the back uprights on one of the armchairs and one side chair has been reduced in height. Seat covers in mostly good order, some with pulls to the velvet. Please ask for more photos.

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.
