No design extravagances with this set and yet a striking appearance at the dining table. Oak wood has been used for these chairs and has been deeply darkly colored and subtly patinated over the years. The surface of the wood has a light shine betraying the fact that we are dealing with a vintage set.

Design
Front legs are positioned a bit wider than the back legs and are connected to the front rail by means of a mortise and tenon joint. These connections protrude half a centimeter, which creates a more dramatic effect.The seat is relatively large in proportion and has been reupholstered in a dark blue woven fabric and is very comfortable. The seat rests on two side rails that protrude through the back legs, which are reinforced with dowels on the inside on both sides. A slightly curved backrest with backwards nudge ending with a semi-circular ribbed support at the top. This allows the back to rest comfortably.

Condition
These chairs have been restored and reupholstered and are therefore in very good condition. See less
