Description:
This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of six kitchen chairs, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a Windsor hoop & stick back design, circa 1890, in excellent condition. These strong Windsor chairs, which have been constructed in the late 19th century, 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. Please note, Windsor stick back chairs which do not feature the “V” shape twin spindle back support on the back of the chairs, are not as strong and are prone to the backs coming loose over time. 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 and were known as “Windsor chairs”. The six kitchen chairs boast a stunning rich colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the seats.
This set of six kitchen dining chairs boasts classic period country styling; they would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting and they consume very little space.
The six kitchen dining chairs display a mellow honey colour. As they retain the original patination, they boast a fantastic colour; this can only be achieved through the years of care and cleaning they have received.
The six kitchen dining chairs would look superb in the kitchen or dining room. They would certainly grace either a contemporary or traditional setting. They are a great investment they are extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
If you are looking for a different number of chairs, we do have other size sets available.
