Description:

This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of 10 Victorian Windsor chairs, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a hoop, stick & wheel back design, including two armchairs, circa 1850, in very good condition.  The pair of armchairs are designed with an ash hoop back rail and arms, a central shaped pierced “wheel back” splat, flanked by spindles, with a single piece “saddle” shaped elm seat and a beech “H” stretcher below, which unite the turned beech legs.  The eight side chairs are constructed in a similar manner, with the addition of two further supporting spindles at the back of the chair, for additional strength.  As these country kitchen chairs boast the original patination, they boast a fantastic rich and warm colour; this can only be achieved through the years of care and cleaning they have received.

Condition Report:

This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of 10 Victorian Windsor chairs, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a hoop, stick & wheel back design, including two armchairs, circa 1850, in very good condition.  Nominal old use marks to the leading edges (seats, back, legs and arms) but nothing significant considering the age of them.  The chair joints have been glued and the chair frames have been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore, the colour and patination of the set are excellent.  Some old repairs visible to the hoops - these are structurally sound.  One of the armchairs’ feet have been professionally re-tipped.  Please remember this is a set of antique utility chairs.  This is a harlequin (matched) set and therefore there is some variation in the colour and size of the chairs.  The Windsor chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble.  They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
