They are the finest quality, hand carved as you can see from the pictures of the base, they have a slight zodiac look and feel to them, the frames have the original ebonising, gold gilt accents, the bases are traditionally coil sprung with horse hair padding, they each weigh around twice that of a modern chair, they are substantial pieces Each one has been fully restored, the chair frames have been secured as required, the upholstery is all new, its gold silk crushed velvet with silk thread, it was the best match for the frames I could find Condition is perfect for the period, there is patination in the paint finish as you would expect, otherwise they are A1 Dimensions Height:- 103cm Width:- 49.5cm Depth:- 55.5cm Seat height:- 49.5cm See less
