Antique Pair of Georgian Carved Armchairs circa 1780 Lovely Carvings Throughout

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this lovely pair of antique Georgian circa 1760 carver armchairs A very good looking and well made pair, these are a his and hers pair so ever so slightly different. They have Georgian H frames so if you sit the chairs on their backs and look at the stretches they make the letter H. Each one has wonderful delicate carvings, tapered legs, hand carved joints, they are wonderful chairs. One of them has very old repairs which I love to the bottom back The pair are in wonderful original condition throughout, we have cleaned waxed and polished them leaving the original patina Dimensions Height:- 86.5cm & 87cm Width:- 55cm & 57.5cm Depth:- 52cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses RH20 1DF. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
