Description:
Here is a fine quality antique set of six English Georgian Chippendale style mahogany dining chairs, circa 1800 – 1820, with newly upholstered seats, in excellent condition. The set consists of four side chairs and two armchairs. The chair frames have been glued and the traditionally French polished by hand to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore the patination and colour of an excellent standard. The chairs are constructed of 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 top quality hardwearing silk damask upholstery, with traditional hessian material to the underside. Therefore, the seats are in excellent and clean condition, with no marks. The seats are firm, but comfortable; you do not sink into the seat. The chairs rest on moulded block legs to the front, with sabre legs to the rear.
The armchairs mirror the design of the singles, with the addition of two splayed, shaped scroll end arms, secured by shaped vertical supports. Please note, this is a true set of chairs; they have not been matched together from smaller sets of similar chairs.
The chairs feature a rich dark brown mahogany colour. As they boast the original polish, 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 or boardroom. They would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
