Fine Set of Four Shropshire Farmhouse Chairs, circa 1800
Material: Elm, Ash
A charming set of four English Shropshire farmhouse chairs dating to circa 1800, traditionally constructed from elm and ash and displaying the wonderfully warm colour and character associated with early English country furniture.
Substantial and sturdy in construction, each chair features an attractively shaped spindle back, creating a simple yet distinctive silhouette typical of provincial farmhouse seating of the period.
The chairs are raised on finely turned legs, with particularly attractive double-turned front stretchers providing both structural support and decorative interest.
Each chair retains a solid timber seat displaying beautiful natural grain and attractive tonal variation. The combination of elm and ash gives the set a wonderfully organic appearance, with the different timbers contributing their own distinctive grain and character.
The timber has developed a particularly appealing warm colour and natural patina through more than two centuries of use, giving the chairs considerable depth and authenticity.
Their restrained construction and practical proportions reflect the traditions of English provincial furniture...
