Description

This is an antique, set of six, French dining chairs dating to the late 19th century.

A highly desirable set of six chairs with two carvers in complimentary style to the four diners, all in good proportion and generous of size. Crafted in walnut displaying biscuit tones with good grain and a desirable patina.

The carvers are magnificent: Raised on cabriole legs with exceptional carved knees and well defined claw and ball feet, the rear legs swept with carved foot interest.

The serpentine seat rails mount a central inverted clam shell and host traditionally stuffed, drop in seat pads. Well formed oblique, shepherd's crook arms welcome the sitter into the broad and comfortable seat.

The flared back panels are decorated with subtle carved details; rosettes beneath the arms, clasped foliate at mid point curving gently in to rosettes on the crest rail terminating and flanking the upholstered finish.

The four dining chairs pear down the exuberance of the carvers with similar features, notably the shaped front seat rails present a glorious carved garland and the rear seat pad crest rails arching to a single carved rosette.

A very fine set of chairs with solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
