The "strings" on the harp backs are uniquely made of brass -- rather than more typical wood. This part of the chair is normally the most fragile part of a harp-back or lyre-back design, and most furniture of this design shows breakage or damage at one or more "strings". The use of brass is not only a creative design flair, but it also prevents damage. The chairs are in good vintage condition. They do, however show signs of age and use, and a bit of Old English polish on the mahogany and brash polish on the "strings" would do the chairs a world of good. There are five side chairs and one captains chair (with arms) . There is no Bassett brand mark on any of the chairs. The chairs originally came with a matching pedestal table. The table bore the Bassett mark; however, the table was sold separately, and we have no photo of the mark. The side chairs measure 34 inches high at the crest and 18 inches high at the seat. They are 19 1/2 inches wide and 18 inches deep. See less
