Pair of Antique French Gilt Wood Side Chairs

£475.00 + VAT

This pair of antique French gilt wood side chairs are in great shape, besides the original upholstery. They are part of a whole set being sold on this site, including a sofa & matching pair of salons. There is an image of the complete set below & they are also being shown separately on the site. I would rather sell it all together, but they are also available separately. They are all structurally sound & the gilt frames have naturally aged with the red layer underneath showing through. This all give them a great character look. The carving is exquisite too & they sit on fluted legs. I would date them to around the 1850’s period, give or take 25 years.

Antique Victorian Swivel Desk Chair

£595.00 + VAT

Strong looking antique Victorian swivel desk chair in good original condition. This piece was actually sold by me about 10 years ago & I have just done a part exchange with the customer for some different furniture he wanted from me. This chair was now surplus to his requirements. It's a great looking chair & very comfortable, due to the curved shape back & scooped out seat. One could even make it more comfortable by adding a loose seat cushion. It's a heavy well constructed piece & very solid looking too, with strong legs & cross stretchers between them. I can't work out if the wood is elm or oak & maybe it's a combination of both. I particularly like the shape of the back splats, the shaped out seat & the shape of the legs, which sit on brass casters.

Antique French wing back armchair with an original distressed painted carved frame. We obtained this chair like this with the fabric already on & the upholstery is in excellent condition. It's a great looking armchair & very comfortable too. I would date it to around the 1890's period. The painted finish is really nice & naturally aged with a two tone finish highlighted on the carvings.

Antique Carved Hardwood Chinese Armchair

£1,450.00 + VAT

This spectacular looking rare antique armchair I believe is Chinese & it has amazing deep carvings all over. It dates to around the 1890-1910 period & is in excellent condition having just been polished. I can't possibly describe all of the details, but look at the dragon arms & all the intricate details on the back. Please enlarge all the images, because every time I look at it, I see some other detail I hadn't spotted before. This isn't really a chair for sitting on, but more of a statement piece. I have seen these chairs with an added loose cushion on the seat, but personally I think that spoils the look.

Antique French Carved Walnut Salon Armchair

We do normally recover upholstered furniture, but this one seems okay & I think the fabric compliments the chair. It's hard to date exactly, but this chair is probably from the 1850-60's period, although it may be older. The carvings & other features in the wood are very fine quality.

Set of 12 Antique Mahogany Chippendale Dining Chairs

£2,500.00 + VAT

It’s a long time since I have come across a long set of 12 antique dining chairs. These are solid mahogany, Chippendale style & date from around the 1890 period. This set is made up from a set of eight exactly the same & another set of four that are almost the same. They must have been made by the same chair maker. I think that someone originally ordered the eight & then added another four a bit after, or there were only eight & four available at the time. You can see they are very similar, with very slight differences in some of the carvings, mainly on the middle of the backs. These chairs are top quality, very impressive & have many intricate features. They are structurally sound & in excellent condition. The drop in seats have just been re-upholstered in neutral coloured fabric. Each seat is numbered underneath, which is another sign of quality as each drop in was made for a specific chair. There are two chairs with swept out arms & ten without. Please enlarge all the images to check out the details.
