A matched set of four carved beechwood and fruitwood fauteuils mid 18th century

Joints sound and sturdy. Some old minor restorations generally. Slight variation in carving between the two pairs. The strut at the back joining the top and bottom rail appears to be a later replacement. Two of the chairs have foliate carved rear feet. The rear seat rails and legs of three are more faded than the rest. Would benefit from a repolish to achieve an overall consistent patina. Measurements: 86cm. total height, 2ft. 10¾in. 42cm. floor to seat, 1ft. 4½in., 66cm. wide 2ft.2in. depth 53cm. 1ft.9in.
