The hand-caned seats are fitted with removable natural woven cushions, creating an elegant balance of comfort and classic British Colonial design.

These chairs come from the inventory of a long-established Hollywood set decoration rental company and are documented as having been rented for use on General Hospital during the 2003 and 2004 production seasons. Their documented production history adds an interesting layer of provenance while preserving their appeal as timeless decorative furnishings.

Whether used as occasional chairs in a living room, flanking a fireplace, or placed in a bedroom or library, they bring warmth, craftsmanship, and collected character to a wide range of interiors.

The coordinating Anglo-Indian settee from the same suite is available separately. See the digitally staged photo mock-up of this pair in an elegant room for inspiration. While generated to mimic general room proportions, it is not an exact mathematical blueprint. Buyers must verify exact fit using the written dimensions listed below before purchasing. Only the item in this listing is for sale.

Dimensions (each)

Height: 33 in.
Width: 21 in.
Depth: 20 in.
Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and professional studio use. Both hardwood frames are sturdy and stable, and the hand-caned seats remain tight and supportive. One chair has a small loss to a single carved ray within the pierced sunburst back splat, and some cracks to the carved decoration and side support visible in the close up photograph. The finish exhibits light surface scratches and handling wear, with more noticeable scuffing and finish loss to portions of the lower legs and feet from years of careful movement and use within a professional set decoration inventory. The removable woven cushions show light age-appropriate wear and remain clean and usable.

Overall, the pair presents beautifully with an attractive warm patina and retains excellent decorative presence. See less
