An Exceptionally Good Quality Early 19th Century Regency Period Rosewood Set Of 10 Dining Chairs, Or Side Chairs, Having Superbly Figured Shaped Top Rails With Superb Richly Carved Foliate Decoration, Over Bold Removable Stuffover Seat Pads Featuring Attractive Floral Needlepoint Decoration, Raised On Elegant Turned Tapering Legs, Headed By Attractive Tulip Carved Decoration.

This beautiful set of dining chairs were clearly made in one of the top London cabinet making workshops of the early 19th century, boasting wonderfully rich rosewood timbers and a depth of carving rarely found. They are also remarkably sturdy and fit for purpose, which often isn’t the case of course for sets of regency dining chairs, many of which can have a tendency to be a little small. These chairs are anything but that, boasting impressive comfortable seats which any person of any size can sit on and be happy

Its unusual to find sets of 10 or more chairs which are still in good condition and haven’t had modern additional chairs built into the set when others in the set become damaged over the years, so thats another big tick in the box of these lovely chairs.

Overall the condition is very good with just a few minor, historic repairs, old marks and scratches as one would expect to find on items of this age. There is no major structural defects or issues to speak of and that is always something which is nice to find on antique dining chairs.

The chairs have also been covered individually not that long ago in striking cream fabric with lovely needlepoint decoration to each individual chair. Clearly somebody somewhere has spent many, many hours making these seats and must have been very happy with their work. It is worth noting that there are a just a few small old marks and stains to the fabric, however nothing overly obvious without close inspection and actually with careful knowhow then they could possibly even be removed. We have made sure that any marks to the upholstery are clearly visble in the closeup photos of the seats. Another point worth noting however is that despite the seats being of the larger stuffover variety they can still be very easily removed from the chairs should purchaser which to change the fabric for something of their own taste and choice at relatively low cost.

As with all items which we offer for sale these chairs have been inspected and attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled, trained specialist antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being offered for sale to ensure that they are in their best possible condition before being offered for sale.
