The back rail is connected to the single piece saddle 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. The armchairs are of two different designs and size (also known as “his” and “her size chairs). One chair reflects the design of the side chairs, designed with an ash hoop back rail and arms, with a saddle shaped elm seat. The other, larger armchair features a taller, curved two-tier back connected to wraparound arms – however, the larger armchair remains very much at-home within the set and does not detract from the other chairs. The stick back 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.

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 chair joints have been glued and the wood has been French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. Therefore, the colour and patination of the set are excellent. This is a harlequin (matched) set and therefore there is some variation in the colour and size of the chairs. The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble. They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
