Description:
This is a fine quality set of six French antique Louis XV style carved oak rush seated ladder-back kitchen chairs, of the 3rd Republic period, circa 1920 - 1930, with a rich colour and in excellent original condition. Featuring a shaped top rail with a shell carved motif and two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design within the shaped upright supports; the chairs feature “drop-in” rush seats, all of which are in good condition. The shaped seat frame incorporates a shell carved motif apron. The seats are raised on fine block legs, terminating on cabriole feet, to the front, with straight legs to the rear, all of which are united by elegantly turned stretchers at the sides and rear, plus a wavy front stretcher with a carved shell motif, for added strength and stability. The chairs are heavy in weight, which is a good sign of fine quality and it means they are sturdy.
Condition Report:
Nominal old use marks to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item.
Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The chairs incorporate drop-in rush woven seats, which show some signs of age and wear, but are perfectly in-keeping with the age of the chairs, they are solid in joint and are of good quality. The chairs are heavy, which is a sign of good quality and ensures they are sturdy. The chairs are solid in joint, they do not wobble and are ready to use.
