Description:
This is a fine quality antique harlequin set of 12 Georgian dining chairs, constructed of sold mahogany, with Chippendale influence, circa 1780 – 1800, with newly upholstered seats, in excellent condition. The set comprises of a true pair of armchair carvers and a harlequin (matched) set of side chairs – therefore, there is a marginal variation to the design and size of the side chairs. The chair frames have been glued and then traditionally French polished by hand to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore the condition, colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The chairs are constructed of dense solid mahogany and feature a serpentine top rail, above a finely executed pierced fretwork central splat, flanked by vertical rails. Incorporating a drop-in seat design, the seat frames are finely moulded. The seats have been newly upholstered in a good quality fawn colour structured cotton material, with traditional new hessian material to the underside. The seats are therefore in good clean condition. The 12 Georgian dining chairs rest on moulded block legs to the front, with sabre legs to the rear, united by a strong “H” stretcher design. The armchairs reflect the design of the side chairs, with the addition of shaped arms on shaped supports.
These 12 Georgian dining chairs feature a rich warm brown mahogany colour. They have a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. The chairs would look superb in the dining room or kitchen. They would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are extremely functional.
