Description:

The set consists of 10 side chairs and 2 armchairs. The chairs feature shaped serpentine top rails, with a finely executed pierced central open fretwork fluted splat. The chairs boast a pronounced shaped back to the top rail, which is a sign of quality. The chairs have drop in seats, which have been newly upholstered in top quality hard wearing silk damask upholstery. The two armchairs feature shaped arms with scroll ends. The chairs stand on block legs, with a fine moulding to the leading edge, which are also chamfered to the inside (this is a further sign of quality). Elegant open fretwork spandrels are visible to the undersides of the seat in each corner of the chair legs. This is a true set of chairs (they have not been matched together) and they are extremely comfortable. They are heavy in weight; having been constructed from good quality dense mahogany; which is a further sign of top quality.

The chairs feature a rich mid brown mahogany colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and the years of care and cleaning they have received.

Condition Report:
This set of chairs is in excellent condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges, but nothing significant considering the age of them. Importantly, there are no breaks to backs, arms or legs of any of the chairs. This is a true set of chairs (i.e. they have not been matched / married together). The seats have been newly upholstered in top quality hard wearing silk damask upholstery. The seats are firm but extremely comfortable. They are heavy in weight, having been constructed from good quality dense mahogany, which is a good sign of quality. As this set of chairs retains its original polish, it ensures there is a good colour and patination to the timber. This colour can only be found in furniture with its original polish; it cannot be recreated with new polish. These chairs are very well made; they are solid in joint (not loose or wobbly) and are ready to use.
