Description:
This is a fine quality pair of Victorian shepherd’s crook mahogany armchairs, circa 1880, in the style of the Queen Anne period, with newly upholstered seats, in very good condition. The armchairs are constructed of top quality solid mahogany and feature a shepherd’s crook shaped top rail, with a central scroll shaped pediment. Below is a shaped and pierced central splat, flanked by vertical rails. The splayed arms boast a shepherd’s crook and are secured by shaped vertical supports. Incorporating a drop-in seat design, the seat frames are finely moulded. The seats have been newly upholstered in top quality hardwearing silk damask upholstery, with traditional hessian material to the underside. Therefore the seats are in excellent and clean condition, with no marks. The seats are firm but comfortable; you do not sink into the seat.
