The wood has a warm brown colour, with variations in grain and tone between the chairs. Each chair has a woven cane seat and backrest, all of which are in good condition.

Measuring 44 cm wide, the chairs have relatively narrow proportions, making them suitable for arranging around a dining table without taking up too much space. The seat height is 46 cm.

The combination of wooden frames and open cane seats works well with both a wooden dining table and a painted table. The chairs can be kept together as a dining set or used individually elsewhere in the home.

The straight, tapering front legs have turned details at the top, with decorative metal rosettes at the junction between the legs and seat frame. Small metal caps finish the front feet. The wooden frames have a warm brown colour, with differences in tone and grain.
