Description
A handsome set of twelve Victorian Oak dining chairs, combining elegant balloon-shaped backs with richly figured timber and coordinating blue tartan upholstery. The warm oak frames display attractive grain and a mellow polished finish, bringing character and warmth to a traditional dining room or country-house interior.
The gently curved, moulded backs rise above generously padded seats, upholstered in a blue-ground tartan incorporating muted green, red and mustard checks, finished with coordinating blue braid. Turned and fluted front legs provide decorative detail, while the swept rear legs give the chairs a graceful profile.
It is increasingly unusual to find a true matching set of twelve antique dining chairs still together, particularly in such excellent overall condition for their age. Restored and carefully maintained, these chairs have the appearance of a treasured set, well cared for over the years. Their survival together makes them an especially appealing choice for a large dining table, bringing a beautifully cohesive look and genuine antique character to the room.
Condition
In excellent overall antique condition, having been restored and carefully maintained, as you have confirmed. The frames present beautifully, with a warm polished finish, and the coordinating upholstery gives the set a well-kept, cohesive appearance.
There are minor age-related marks, small knocks and areas of surface wear, consistent with their history. Minor Small holes are visible beneath the underside; these have been assessed as historic woodworm, treated, and inactive.
Please examine the detailed photographs, which form part of the description.
