The rich walnut frames display beautifully turned legs connected by front and side stretchers, with gracefully curved ladder-back splats and open arms.

Condition: Fair / As-Is for Restorer. The wooden frames are structurally sound with tight joints and good overall integrity. One cane seat has a break/hole in the weave (annotated in listing photos), and the other shows general age-related wear to the caning. Both seats will benefit from professional re-caning — a common and relatively affordable restoration for chairs of this quality. The wood frames show normal age patina, minor surface scratches, and light wear consistent with their age.

These chairs are ideal for a buyer comfortable with re-caning projects, or for a furniture restorer looking for solid Victorian frames with great bones. Sold as a pair.

Dimensions (each chair): 33.75"H x 19.25"W x 17"D
Material: Walnut
Origin: American, circa 1880s
