About the Item

SET OF SIX FRENCH OAK AND COGNAC STITCHED-AND-STUDDED LEATHER DINING CHAIRS Circa early 20th century Item # 308ZOG16A A rich and wonderful set of six dining chairs, they feature wonderful solid oak frames with heavy patinated leather upholstery. The chair backs are slung with two cuts of saddle leather backed up to one another and stitched along the four sides to create a very strong and flexible support. This is then attached to the frame with these wonderful custom machined brass studs. The large circular stud is turned with a gentle bevel to the edge and has darkened over time from exposure to the air. The over-stuffed seat is designed from the same saddle leather, but this is made more comfortable and supportive by webbing and stuffing the seat instead of using the sling method of the chair back. The same oversized studs were then tapped in around the sides of the frame to lock the leather to the chair. Flanking the seat on either side are these delightful undulating arms with wonderful sculpting, all carved entirely from solid oak and raised over an integral arm-support/leg with an ogee edge on all sides - the same fluting to the corners is found on the back legs as well and all of the legs join vertically through the base stretchers for an incredibly firm structure. It is hard to find visually compelling sets like this with a great sense of age and patina while having such great form. Measurements: 39 1/4" H x 25 1/4" D x 24 3/8" W x 19" H to seat Condition Report: Chair frames are very handsomely worn throughout to create an even and natural overall patina; gentle silky glow to the oak; scuffs and scratches from use as expected, though most have oxidized and joined the surface attractively; heavily worn leather with sticker marks on a few chair backs, cracking to a few seats and some stitches opening up in a few areas on the chair backs; the leather is absolutely enjoyable exactly how it is and no repairs are required; the chairs are sturdy, strong and very comfortable/supportive.
