Description:
This is a fine quality English set of eight antique George IV and later, mahogany bar back dining chairs, including two armchairs, with recently upholstered seats, circa 1830 and later, in excellent condition. The chairs are constructed from solid mahogany and feature curved a bar back, with a rounded, curved horizontal central splat, secured by vertical supports. The armchairs reflect the design of the side chairs, with the addition of scroll arms on shaped supports. The stuff-over seats have been recently upholstered in top quality luxurious ruby red velvet upholstery, with matching braiding. If you do not like the colour/style of the upholstery, we can re-cover the seats in a fabric of your choice, for an additional £50 per seat.
The seats have also been recently professionally re-stuffed and re-webbed. The undersides of the seats are finished with traditional webbing. The seats are firm but extremely comfortable to sit on. The chairs stand on tapering, turned legs at the front and sabre legs to the rear.
The chairs boast a rich brown mahogany colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received.
This set of mahogany dining chairs would look superb in the dining room or boardroom. They would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
