More Information
In essence there are four patterns of chairs in this lot. All similar but definitely not the same. One chair in particular has been made to be similar by removing a centre bar and adding carving at the top of the uprights.
All the chairs are strong with similarly upholstered squabs some of which seem a little small for the frame of the seat.
Some fading on the backs, knocks and scratches consistent with normal use and age. Good patina however it is clear that these chairs have been bought from the trade in the past. Bearing all the hallmarks of restoration, old woodworm in the seat frames in places , new blocks, replaced slithers of veneer and additional wood added to support the seat frame.
