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! Photographed by Russell Winnell.
