Item Date: 1745-1760
Measurement: Height: 42.25"; Seat Height: 16"; Width: 19"; Depth: 15"
Material: Maple
Item Condition: Its all about the outstanding surface! As depicted – the chairs have lost a small amount of height [most noticeable on the underside of a couple of the lower front stretchers], yet the red painted surface transcends all. There was a single breakout to the backside of one keeper rail during the chairs early working life…the chair received a soulful repair using the original piece of wood and five small nails as depicted. And finally, the same banister broke out of the top crest rail s depicted…all part of the chair’s history. All chairs are worthy of daily use.
