Pair of Mid 19th Century Carolean Style High Back Walnut Chairs

Good pair of mid 19th Century Caroleon style chairs in walnut with caned seats and backs.

The high backs with decorative cresting rails carved with leaves and flower-heads, flanked by upward scrolling ends which sit above the central caned splats and turned uprights on either side. The caned seats are raised on well carved and shaped legs with serpentine carved stretchers which mirror the decoration on the cresting rails.

These fine chairs have developed a warm mellow colour with excellent signs of ageing.

One of the turned uprights on one chairs has a charing old 'blacksmith's repair' strengthened with an iron rod fixed to the back.

Seat height 48.5cms.
