18th century English country Hepplewhite ash and elm side chair.

The ogee shaped top rail above a simple scratch-moulded shaped upright centre splat.
The base having a three plank seat with later cushion, resting on turned front legs,

Selling this rare set of eight 19th century well patinated French Louis XV style figured Walnut, dining chairs for a customer.

This style of chair is reasonably easy to locate in France as they continued to make this ever popular style.
But it’s rare to locate a large set of original period chairs, so that’s why I’m happy to sell.
Second half 19th century.
We have re glued and re wax finished all eight. Also our magnificent cane restorer Graeme Nichols
has personally restored the cane work where required.
Now in his mid 80s, this was the last large job he’ll do. Very grateful for his wonderful work over the years.
Notice the long placed shaped steel leg securing braces made to fit many years ago.
DM me for pricing.
More than happy to bring to your home to try with your dining table.
Note: similar set of 12 on 1stdibs for $51,538.34

Seven 20th century American oak windsor arm chairs.

Having a wonderful overall well worn patina and attractive fret-carved rear splats.

As always, the most comfortable chairs to dine on and locating sets isn’t easy.

You could have four around your kitchen dining table and place the other three in many places around your home or apartment.

Complete set of eight English Hepplewhite revival dining chairs, including two armchairs.

A great find.

The moulded bowed floral carved top rail, with tapered side supports and beautifully carved rear splat.
Having comfortable wide upholstered seats, resting on square moulded tapered legs.

This set is a fine example of the late 19th, early 20th century revival period.

1890 – 1920

The last set of these I sold, the six dining chairs down each side of dining table and the pair of carvers either side of sideboard.
Very stylish look. The carvers are pulled over when having more than six to dinner.

Still to be cleaned, a couple lightened (as sat in the shaded side of dining room) touched out and wax finished.

A rare set of six 1920s revival dining chairs.

These chairs are around 100 years old. The 20s was a huge revival period.

They have Queen Anne rear shaped splats and shaped top rails 1705.
George I and George II cavletto style moulds 1714 – 1740
all blending so well.

Would you believe I used bitumen to build this beautiful walnut/period oak colour.
A long, complicated, somewhat monotonous restoration job indeed!

Window display night shots

Finally leaving my showroom this evening. Thought I’d make myself even later by taking a few window photos.

Why not hey?

I’m selling a beautiful harlequin set of 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs for a customer, so popped one into my window.

The incredible beauty of 240 years of patina shining in my window is worth staying back for.

Beautiful Yew wood pieces, sold over the years.

Thought I’d create a few posts on beautiful yew wood pieces I’ve sold over the past few decade’s.

Those who know me, know of my memory problem, due to an accident 28 years ago.
I have a short term memory.
However, every one of these wonderful pieces, I know who purchased, what they paid and where they sit in their beautiful homes.
For these memories I’m ever so grateful ❤️

A rare pair of 18th Century yew wood Gothic Windsor elbow chairs

Thought I’d create a few posts on beautiful yew wood pieces I’ve sold over the past few decade’s.

I’ll start with these magnificent rare 18th century English Gothic windsor elbow chairs.

I sold these to a wonderful woman in her late 70s back in 2006. She still enjoys them every day.
Such joy they have brought to her life…

Having double bow construction, with fine tracery fretted splats oweing much to the 18th Century Gothic Revival.
The bowed arms on swept back underarm supports attached to an unusual mahogany saddle seat (typically elm) above pierced knee brackets,
raised on well-formed cabriole front legs joined by a crinoline stretcher.

Attributed to the Thames Valley region. Yew wood, fruitwood and mahogany seats.

No recorded period Gothic Windsor chair has yet been found in in any wood other than the prized yew wood.
