Description:
Here is a stunning quality set of six English antique 19th Century Victorian mahogany balloon back dining chairs, circa 1860, with newly upholstered stuff-over seats, in excellent condition. The chairs are designed with an attractive dipped “balloon” shaped back, comprising of a curved, moulded top rail, connected to shaped side supports. The back also features a foliate carved central horizontal splat with scroll detail. The chairs feature stuff-over seats, which have been newly upholstered to a professional standard in new top-quality taupe colour structured cotton material, finished with matching braiding and traditional hessian backing to the underside. The seat frame is raised on octagonal, ring turned front legs, with sabre legs to the rear. If you do not like the colour/style of the upholstery, we can recover the seats in a fabric of your choice. If you would like the seats recovered, please contact us for a quote. The chairs have also been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard.
The chairs feature a rich brown mahogany colour. They have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received. This rich original colour cannot be re-created if the chairs have been re-polished.
These 19th Century dining chairs would look would look good anywhere, either in a formal setting or for everyday use. They would certainly grace any home or office and are a great investment, as they are extremely functional.
