Each has a tall back with a pair of plain rails enclosing rows of boldly turned baluster spindles, set between simple uprights, giving the set a lovely light, rhythmic quality. The two carvers are fitted with shaped, scrolling open arms on turned supports. All eight have traditional rush seats that retain their good old colour and texture, and stand on turned front legs joined by a pronounced, swelling stretcher, with plain side and rear stretchers beneath, ending in neat pad feet. The set is not perfectly uniform, with slight variations in the turning and proportions from chair to chair, which is entirely typical of country chairs gathered over time and gives the group real charm and authenticity. The timber has aged to a warm, deep chestnut and honey brown with a dry, softly polished patina, and the seats carry the gentle wear you would expect of chairs that have been used and enjoyed for well over a century. A set of eight is always a most useful thing, and these would work beautifully around a large farmhouse kitchen or dining table, with the carvers placed at either end. Honest, characterful and full of country charm, a most appealing set in good original condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAll furniture items require FREIGHT SHIPPING or DELIVERY, which is an additional charge based on location and size of the items.
