This set of six single chairs all with shaped rail to the top with two rows of five turned spindles with uprights to either side leading down to a rush seat, all in good condition, the seats having protective wooden strips to the front, sides and back.
The chairs are supported on turned front legs with a pad foot and square legs to the back, the legs joined with stretchers, the stretcher to the front being turned.
