* Solid quarter-sawn wood oak armchairs crafted in the English Arts & Crafts tradition
* Each chair features a broad, gently arched crest rail with a subtly curved top edge and chamfered corners
* The backs are composed of a central vertical splat with a shaped silhouette—broad at the lower portion and tapering inward and then slightly flaring
* Generously shaped open arms extend forward in a fluid, continuous curve from the crest supports, terminating in rounded hand rests. The arm supports are gracefully contoured and firmly joined to the seat rails, contributing both visual softness and structural stability.
* The seats are solid wood saddle seats with a gentle concave shaping while the seat fronts display a slight serpentine contour
* The front legs are cabriole-inspired with a subtle outward curve, while the rear legs follow a gentle backward sweep
* Each chair is joined with substantial side stretchers and a distinctive central turned or slightly swollen front stretcher element
* The underside reveals solid plank construction to the seat, secured with visible fasteners. A small metal plate is affixed to the underside of at least one chair with no readable inscription
* Overall good vintage condition and structurally sound, with joints appearing tight and stable. VIsible surface wear consistent with age and use, including scattered scratches, minor dents, and small abrasions to the crest rails, arms, and seats. Seats show areas of darker staining and patina. Minor edge wear and finish thinning visible along high contact areas. Underside of seats show age-related darkening and surface marks.
