A fine set of four Georgian elm dining chairs, dating from the late 18th century, George III period. Constructed in solid, well-figured elm, each chair features a shaped yoke top rail above a pierced vasiform back splat. The seats are cut from single, solid planks of elm displaying attractive grain patterns, while the square legs are united by H-stretchers, providing excellent strength and stability. These chairs are an appealing example of vernacular, Chippendale-inspired country furniture, combining an elegant silhouette with robust construction. Their colour, surface, and naturally developed patina have matured over more than two centuries, giving the set great warmth and character.

Condition IconCondition
The chairs are in very good original condition, structurally sound and sturdy. They retain an excellent colour and patina, with a fine wax-polished surface. There are some minor marks and blemishes consistent with age and use, along with a few small, natural age splits to the edges of a couple of seats. Light traces of old historic worm, typical of elm, are present, fully treated and not structurally significant. No loose joints, no significant damages, and no obvious repairs. The set has been sensitively cleaned and wax-polished in our workshop, preserving the original surface as far as possible. They are now well presented and ready for everyday use. As with all antique furniture, signs of wear, marks, and imperfections are to be expected and form part of the historic character of the piece.
