A set of six Edwardian painted cherrywood and caned armchairs, early 20th century, in the manner of John Gee

Overall in good conserved condition and ready to place. Three chairs slightly unsteady but joints are sound and sturdy. There are some minor losses and areas of refreshment to the painted decoration. The later cushions upholstered in an ivory coloured silk damask (see website for further images) and would benefit from a gentle clean. Most seats re-canned and the canning to the backrest with a residual silvered/gilded finish. Generally with minor old marks and scratches commensurate with age and use.
