A delightful set of 10 matched late 19th century English Ash and Elm Country Design Farmhouse Ladder Back Dining Chairs.

Consisting of 8 single chairs and 2 armchairs, having elegant wavy ladderbacks over rushed seats. Raised on turned legs and stretchers.

These chairs are in excellent functional condition. They have been through our workshops for a wax and been tightened up so they are ready to go straight into use.

The rushed seats are all in good order with some re-rushed at different points over the past hundred years and therefore the rush has a slightly different look to it.

But the seats are all stained to the same colour and most importantly the rush in all of them is very much fit for purpose which is of great importance these days with restoration of rushed seats costing signifcant money. T

he chairs are matched, meaning that they did not all start life together and that is the case with almost all sets of country dining chairs which you come across.

There is always slight variations and indeed because they were made in country workshops there is very often variations, even in sets which did start their lives together.

Perfect for both a formal and casual setting, in both a town or country home. This set of chairs is great value and incredibly functional.

Circa 1880.
