Description:

This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of 12 Windsor chairs, ideal for use in the kitchen or dining room, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a hoop & stick back design, including two armchairs, circa 1870 – 1930, from the Victorian period onwards, in excellent original condition.

The pair of armchairs, which are of a Victorian age, are designed with an ash hoop back rail and arms, a central shaped pierced splat, flanked by spindles, with a saddle shaped elm seat and a “H” stretcher below.

The 10 side chairs, which have been constructed in the 1930’s are constructed with six spindles to the inside of a single piece oval shaped ash moulded back rail, supported by a two further supporting spindles at the back of the chair, for added strength. The back rail is connected to the single piece saddle shaped elm seats and turned beech legs connected by “H” beech stretchers, which makes them a firm utility chair, ideal for daily use in the kitchen.  The stick back style of chair first originated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England.  The chairs boast a stunning nut-brown colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the seats.

This set of 12 Windsor chairs boast classic period country styling; they would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting in either the kitchen or dining room.  They are a great investment as they are extremely functional.

The 12 Windsor chairs boast a lovely nut-brown colour.  As they boast the original patination, they have a fantastic colour; this can only be achieved through the years of care and cleaning they have received.

If you are looking for a different number of chairs, we do have other size sets available.

Condition Report:

This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of 12 Windsor chairs, ideal for use in the kitchen or dining room, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a hoop & stick back design, including two armchairs, circa 1870 – 1930, from the Victorian period onwards, in excellent original condition.  Nominal old use marks to the leading edges (e.g., seats, back and legs) but nothing significant considering the age of them.  The chair joints have been glued and the chair frames have been French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore, the colour and patination is of an excellent standard.  This is a harlequin (matched) set and therefore there is some variation in the colour and size of the chairs.  The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble.  They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
