This
is a pair of superb quality, Victorian chairs are made with the best
quality mahogany timbers. The chairs have very elegant sinuously curved
backs in a style know as 'crown back' serpentine seat rails and cabriole
legs.
They
are very substantially made and elegantly designed with attractively
curving arms supported by cabriole supports with scrolling ends. The
chairs have generally sized padded seats which have recently been upholstered
in a dark tan hide.
It
is rare to find a pair of chairs from this period with no evidence of
damage or repairs and of such a substantial size. We believe the chairs
to have been specially commissioned as the size is most unusual for
this type of chair.
The
lovely deep rich brown finish is original and years of polishing had
developed a rich patina.
