The chairs feature an attractive “balloon” shaped top rail, with a vertical pierced geometric carved central splat. The chairs feature drop in seats, which have been newly upholstered in top quality hard wearing pale gold floral structured chenille upholstery. The chair frame is constructed using the traditional “bolt-back” method. The chairs stand on ring turned front legs, sabre rear legs and the seat frame boasts an elegant bowed reeded front rail. The chairs boast a fantastic depth of colour and patination, displaying a lovely rich red and brown mahogany colour.

The chairs feature a rich red and brown mahogany colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received. This rich original colour and patination cannot be re-created if the chairs have been re-polished.

Condition Report:

This set of chairs is in good condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and top rails of the chairs, with some colour variation, but nothing significant considering the age of the chairs. Importantly, there are also no breaks to the backs, frames or legs of any of the chairs. The drop-in seats have been newly upholstered in top quality hard wearing pale gold floral structured chenille upholstery. The upholstery is therefore clean, free from wear and marks. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination. This rich original colour and patination cannot be re-created if the chairs have been re-polished. The chairs are well constructed, solid in joint and are ready to be used.
