The chairs are constructed in English elm with decorative carved fluted central rail and scrolled arms. The shaped seat being of single plank mahogany.

Overall in very good condition, showing natural wear to the finish, the chairs have been waxed and have a lovely matching colour. There are some marks and light knock consistent with their age.
