with drop-in seats, on shell-carved cabriole legs with ball and claw feet
Condition
These chairs are in very good condition. The colour and patina are both very good. Minor old worm damage to both which does not detract. Both top-rails with repairs which have been well done and do not detract. One has a repaired upright with an inserted patch. One has a small patch on the back-rail and minor age cracks to spandrels. Several rear spandrels have been replaced. Later leather seat covering. They are a really lovely pair of chairs.
