Pair of 19th Century Mahogany Gainsborough Design Chairs c. 1890

A very good quality pair of 19th century chairs with well carved cabriole legs to front and back, serpentine shaped backs and lovely scrolled and outswept arms on channel carved supports.

The chairs are upholstered in a gold Chinese pattern silk mix fabric, with some marks and lighter areas due to wear but serviceable and not in need of re-upholstery. They are well padded with sprung seats and are extremely comfortable.

No worm, breaks or repairs, both chairs are very heavy, well made and robust without any weakness or movement in the joints. Both chairs have a lovely rich colour to the mahogany.

An extremely handsome and impressive pair of 19th century chairs dating from c. 1890 and hand finished with a good natural colour and sheen. Made in the style of an 18th century Gainsborough or library chair.
