Object Description
A good harlequin set of eight mid 19th century (circa 1830) ash and elm wheelback Windsor chairs of superb patina, from the Thames Valley region.
This set of chairs consist of an ash hoop back with scribed edge and central pierced splat with wheel design to the centre, spindles to either side leading down to well figured solid elm seats.
The chairs are supported by ash turned legs to the front and back, joined by a turned H stretcher.
