Johnstone & Jeanes are known for their 'good and substantial manufacture’ as noted in the Art Journal's illustrated catalogue for the 1862 International Exhibition

By repute - the chairs were commissioned for Kensington palace. The previous owners farther had them given as a gift. I have no official documentation as proof of this claim.

Both chairs in very good condition but would benefit from upholstery as it is tired.

As with all my upholstered seating I do offer upholstery so please get in touch to find out more.
