These chairs showcase intricately carved and pierced back splats, with flowing lines and symmetrical motifs that are hallmarks of the Chippendale tradition.

The curved armrests end in classic volutes, offering both comfort and visual appeal. Handwoven rush seats bring a warm, organic texture, while the sturdy oak frames—joined with stretchers—ensure long-lasting durability. A rich, dark finish enhances the grain and carved details, giving each chair a sense of depth and age.

No maker’s marks are visible, but the quality of craftsmanship is evident in the precise carving, solid joinery, and balanced proportions. These chairs blend Gothic and Rococo elements with a distinctly provincial charm, making them ideal for use as casual dining or accent chairs in farmhouse, cottage, or traditional interiors. See less
