This set of eight mahogany chairs still have the original brown leather drop in seats. These chairs are antique Georgian style, with the wheat sheaf design at the top of the shield backs. They have tapered spade end legs that are joined together with 'H' framed cross stretchers, which give the chairs more stability. There are six chairs plus two carvers, all in good original condition, with plenty of character & I would say they date from the 1930-50's period.
Exquisite set of six William 1V (1830-40) dining chairs, in good original condition, with plenty of character. They have good carvings on the back rails & the front legs have that typical William 1V tulip design. These chairs are just as I acquired them, the polish being a little worn & faded in places, but nothing that bad. Besides they have a great colour & patina, so I didn't want to spoil that. The drop in seats were tatty, so we had them recovered in calico, which to be honest has already got a few dust marks from our warehouse. These seats can be recovered for £15 each plus fabric. They are sturdy, with no obvious repairs. This particular model are becoming increasingly hard to find.
This wonderful set of 8 large mahogany Queen Anne style dining chairs are great quality & are in good original condition. I would say they date from around the 1920's period with the original needlepoint drop in seats that are still intact. Some of the seats have sunk a bit, but could easily be re-webbed & with the help of some padding, be lifted up again. There are 6 chairs plus 2 carvers. They have very generous proportions & loads of character. These chairs are solid mahogany, with flame mahogany backs & some very good carving on the shaped legs.
Nice quality set of 8 mahogany dining chairs, antique Georgian style, that include 2 carvers. They have sheild backs that are well carved, incorporating the 'Prince of Wales Feathers'. The drop in seats are covered in calico & they have tapered spade end legs, joined by 'H' stretchers, which help give the chairs extra strength. These chairs have just been French Polished, so they are in good condition & I would say they date from around the 1930-50's period.
