Description:

This is a fine quality antique harlequin French set of six kitchen chairs, in the Louis XV style, made from solid oak and beech, with a ladder-back design, including two armchairs, circa 1920, in good original condition.  The harlequin (matched) set of French oak and beech kitchen chairs comprises two armchairs and six side chairs.  The side chairs feature a shaped top rail with a floral carved cartouche and two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design between shaped upright supports.  The six side chairs incorporate fixed rush seats, all of which are in good overall condition.  The pair of armchairs feature “drop-in” seats which can be removed.  The shaped seat frame is decorated with a floral carved cartouche.  The seats are raised on fine cabriole legs to the front, with straight legs to the rear, all of which are united by turned twin stretchers for added strength and stability.  

Likewise, the two armchairs are decorated with floral carved cartouches to the top rail, with two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design in-between shaped upright support. The chairs backs are secured by sturdy shaped arms, raised on formed vertical supports.  The chairs feature “drop-in” rush seats, all of which are in good condition (the seats are currently screwed to the seat frame).   

The six kitchen chairs stand on cabriole legs to the front, with straight legs to the rear, all of which are united by twin stretchers for added strength and stability, with a decorative floral carved cartouche on the front stretcher. 

The six French kitchen chairs boast a warm, golden oak colour. They boast a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and the years of care and cleaning they have received.   

The six French oak chairs would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the kitchen or dining room. They would certainly grace any home in either a contemporary or traditional setting; they are a great investment, as they are an extremely functional item.  So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture. 

Condition Report:

Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard.  There is minor colour variation to the set of chairs.  The chairs incorporate rush woven seats, with historical minor colour variation and in-keeping with the age of the chairs. These kitchen chairs are solid in joint and are of good quality.  The six oak kitchen chairs are solid in joint; they do not wobble and are ready to use.
