These are a fine and elegant pair of English mahogany side / dining chairs from the English Sheraton Period of George III, circa 1790 and with beautifully carved detail.
The chairs have square backs with flute moulded sides and have intricate crisply carved splats between. The carved top rail is linked to a Fine and delicately carved, pierced lattice-work cross splat by a rectangular panel, inlaid with box and ebony. A further lower cross rail is finely carved with individual palmettes to the underside.
The square legs are vertically moulded and tapered at the front with pegged joints and connected by four stretchers for added strength.
The 'drop-in' seats could easily be re-upholstered according to personal choice.
The proportion of these chairs is excellent and they are made from the best Cuban mahogany which is dense and heavy.
These are fine quality, English Georgian Dining...
