Description:
Here is a fine quality set of 10 antique English Victorian mahogany chairs, circa 1890, stamped J.B., with newly upholstered seats, in good original condition. The chairs feature an attractive arched top rail, with a central floral scribing flanked by geometric scribing which is also visible down the vertical rails. A reeded central rail, encompassing decorative spindles, secures the back. The chairs features drop in seats, which have been newly upholstered in top quality hardwearing oatmeal colour structured chenille upholstery. The chair frame is constructed using the traditional “bolt-back” method. The chairs stand on ring turned front legs, sabre rear legs and the seat frame boasts an elegant bowed reeded front rail. The chairs are heavy in weight and thus solid in joint.
The chairs feature a rich red and brown mahogany colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received. This rich original colour and patination cannot be re-created if the chairs have been re-polished.

Condition Report:
This set of chairs is in excellent condition. This is an original true set of chairs, which have not been matched together from smaller set of chairs, like other chairs on the market. The chairs have been tightened wax polished in our workshop to a high standard.

Importantly, there are no breaks to the backs, frames or legs of any of the chairs. Therefore the chairs are solid in joint and ready to be used.
