This is a lovely set of four Walnut Dining Chairs that were made in the Victorian era. The Balloon Backs are finely carved with striking motifs on the top rail and the central bar. The seats are well upholstered in midnight blue velvet.
 
The chairs stand on most unusually carved front legs with the usual splay legs to the rear. Possible repairs to some legs.
 
We have dated these elegant chairs in the Early to Mid-Victorian era of about 1830-1860.
 
The Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria''s reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. It was a long period of peace, prosperity, ''refined sensibilities'' and national self-confidence for the United Kingdom. Some scholars date the beginning of the period in terms of sensibilities and political concerns to the passage of the Reform Act 1832.
