A good harlequin (close matching) set of eight single country chairs most likely from the Macclesfield area. Although not a heavy chair with seven stretchers they are nice and sturdy. Probably restored in the 1980's there are numerous blemishes under the polish and a few defunct wormholes (re-treated by us as a precaution) but far better than most and always sought after. Part of our extensive stock of country chairs. All cleaned and wax polished.

Georgian ladderback chairs feature horizontal, contoured cross-rails set between two vertical uprights, a design originating in 18th-century regional Britain. They typically include turned front legs, supportive stretchers, and solid wood or rush seats.

These chairs were primarily crafted from solid native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany. Construction relied on traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs for long-term durability.

Authentic period chairs exhibit subtle irregularities from hand-planing and hand-tooling, along with natural timber shrinkage across the grain. Look for pegged mortise joints, historical wear on the stretchers, and undisturbed patination in recessed areas.

Pairing dark oak ladderback chairs with a clean-lined modern dining table creates an appealing contrast between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. Adding neutral linen cushions or placing them over a textured rug softens the visual weight of the timber.

Dust the surfaces regularly using a soft, dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the wood finish. Position the furniture away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent warping or splitting of the timber.
