Description

An attractive set of twelve Arts & Crafts/Art Nouveau walnut high back dining chairs attributed to Shapland & Petter and dating to circa 1880. With scroll ears and shaped toprail carved with acanthus roundels above four tapering splats and similarly shaped bottom rail. On channelled seat frame with shaped square tapering legs and inset padded seats. One chair slightly larger with cover-over seat for the head of the table (carver).

Dealers Notes

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.
