The striking circular backs are beautifully crafted with delicate openwork carving to both the upper and lower sections, creating an exceptionally pretty and distinctive design. The walnut frames display a lovely warm colour and rich patina, with the flowing curves of the backrests complemented by elegantly shaped supports.
Each chair has a generously upholstered serpentine seat, newly covered in a luxurious ivory patterned fabric with a subtle raised botanical design and decorative braid edging. The soft neutral upholstery contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the walnut, giving these Victorian dining chairs a fresh and sophisticated appearance while retaining their antique character.
