More Information

One of the carvers has visible repairs where the uprights on the back have been pinned. There is also a repaired break in the bar back, also pinned. The other carver is a little faded. Of the singles, three have tapestry seats matching the carvers, the others have leather pads which are now dried and worn. One of the singles has a break to the centre bar. Some of the singles are slightly more faded than others. All the chairs are sturdy. Another of the singles has a brace on one of the back legs and another has a loss to one of the back legs at the foot. Overall a good set of chairs that would benefit from some restoration and reupholstery.
