An Extremely Attractive And Charming Matched Harlequin Set Of 8 Early 19th Century, Georgian, Ash And Elm Farmhouse Kitchen Dining Chairs, Consisting Of 6 Single Chairs And 2 Armchairs, Having Elegant Spindlebacks Over Rushed Seats Raised On Elegant Turned Legs And Stretchers.

Most designs of spindleback, or ladderback  dining chairs which were made in the 18th and 19th centuries can be referenced to a particular area of the United Kingdom as they nearly always had individual design quirks. These are no different, the spindleback design to the backs with turned upright supports and no protruding earpieces at the top generally regarded as originating from the North West, probably Lancashire.

Something else we like about this particular set of dining chairs is that they are genuinely Georgian, Early 19th Century, and therefore have some real character, lustre, patina and various other signs of life and use unlike so many late 19th, or even early 20th century examples which can be found on the market these days. Naturally this has resulted in various nicks, digs, scrapes and slices, but nothing that causes any issues with either the aesthetics or the structural integrity of the chairs.

Overall they are in great functional condition. Ready to be placed immediately around a farmhouse dining table and put straight into use. The rush seats all appear to be in good order, clearly they have been re-rushed at some stage in the not too distant past and therefore shouldn’t require doing again in the immediate future.

As is just about always the case with english country chairs, these chairs are a harlequin, or matched set, therefore there are various minor design differences from one chair to another and a few variations in the overall seat and back heights We have ensured we quote the measurements of the tallest chairs in case thats important to you and of course the dimensions of the armchairs are also quoted separately as they are larger in all areas.

As with all the items which we offer for sale they have been attended to in our workshops by our trained traditional antique furniture restorers to ensure they are in their best condition possible before being offered for sale, including a lovely natural wax polish finish.

Perfect for either a rustic kitchen in a country home, or indeed a relatively formal setting in an english townhouse these chairs have incredible versatility and are great value for money.
