The dining chairs feature solid walnut frames with shaped ladder backs topped with a shell motif on the top rail. Unusually, the seats are sprung (have interior springs for support) and are upholstered in a Normandy blue fabric, which is easily recovered if desired. Curvy cabriole legs terminate in high-relief scroll feet and united with a turned H stretcher.

The early 20th century chairs are in very good vintage condition and ready to use. Scuffs and scratches on the wood frame from normal use. Minor sun fading on the back of one chair. Upholstery fabric is clean with minor wear. Please see photos for more details about the condition of the chairs.

Each chair measures 40.5” tall, 17.5” wide, and 17” deep with a 17.5” seat height. See less
