Beautiful chairs and very well carved, particularly to the handrests. As stated in the cataloguing, the stiff-leaf collars at the base of the legs are later, and the bun feet are later replacements, the joins for the later collars and feet generally well-concealed. Overall with scattered age and construction cracks, and with general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use; repairs most prominent at the top rails and arm joins, with one chair repaired across the length of its top rail. The seat rails veneered, the veneers with scattered fraying, lifting, and minor cracks with minor areas of losses and signs of infill and restorations. Some minor repairs to the insides of the rails, as well as later braces in the front corners. Some old infill over old upholstery-tack holes to the rail undersides. One leg with some more prominent restoration to the raised areas of its fluting. The upholstery with marks, faint discoloration and overall signs of wear, as to be expected from use. Overall presents very well with rich dark brown color.
