Description:
This is a fine quality antique set of six early English ash, elm and beech stick back kitchen-dining chairs, circa 1850, from the Victorian period, in excellent original condition. These chairs feature seven spindles to the inside of a single piece oval shaped ash moulded back rail, supported by a two further supporting spindles at the back of the chair, for added strength. The back rail is connected to the single piece shaped elm seats and turned beech legs connected by “H” beech stretchers, which makes them a firm utility chair, ideal for daily use in the kitchen. This style of chair first originated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. The chairs feature a stunning rich colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the seats. These early chairs boast the classic country styling; they would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting and they consume very little space.

Condition Report:
The chairs are in excellent original condition, with nominal old use marks to the leading edges (e.g. seats, back and legs) but nothing significant considering the age of them. The chairs have been polished in our workshops. The chairs retain the original patination, which means they boast a stunning colour. This design of chair is ideal for kitchens, with daily use, as they are well constructed, with twin supporting spindles, making them a strong design. This is a true set (not matched) of chairs. The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble. They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
