Set of Six Barn Find circa 1880 Japanese Throne Armchairs Original Paint Chinese

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for auction this lovely set of original Qing dynasty hardwood carved barn find oriental Throne chairs with original ebonized distressed paint. These chairs are very rare, original circa 1880, the distressing to the paintwork is exquisite, you couldn't make it up, we have professionally restored these to include a deep clean which was two days work for two employees, the paint has been stabilized with any loose flaking rubbed off, the chairs have then been waxed and polished sealing the remaining finish from any further losses, the end result is sublime. The chairs have the original metal hand hammered strapwork to the corners, native scenes carved into the back splats, there is one loss to one corner that I can see, otherwise, they are all present and correct. These are a genuine barn find, they were in the same place for around 60 years totally untouched and luckily dry. Dimensions: Height 101cm Width 57cm Depth 50cm. Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular 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.
