Description:
This is a fine quality harlequin set of six antique English Victorian ash & elm Windsor armchairs, comprising stick and hoop backs, circa 1850, with stunning grain configuration and colour, in excellent original condition. The armchairs feature nine spindles to the inside of a single piece oval bent ash moulded back rail, supported by a two further supporting spindles at the back of the chair which secure to a wedge shape projection at the rear of each seat for additional strength. The back rail is secured to stunning single piece saddle shaped elm seats by shaped arms on shaped supports. The armchairs are raised on turned legs, connected by “H” form 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 feature a stunning rich colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the elm seats.
These armchairs boast the classic country styling; they would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting in a kitchen or dining room and they consume very little space. The chairs feature a rich brown ash and elm colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; 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.
