Set of Six 18th Century English Figured Ash Country chippendale dining chairs

The six chairs would look great both sides of a farmhouse table or two either side and one at each end.

My upholsterer will make six perfect fitting thick velcro-fitted cushions, piped top and bottom. Very stylish.

All needing re-gluing and a good wax.

I bought these chairs, as it’s very hard to locate a set, especially country chairs. I usually combine 6-8 singles to form a harlequin set.
