An exceptional and highly impressive set of twenty Queen Anne style elm dining chairs, comprising eighteen side chairs and two carvers. A substantial suite of chairs of considerable presence, offering an outstanding opportunity to furnish a large dining room or entertaining space in true period style.
Beautifully crafted from richly figured elm, the chairs are raised upon elegant Queen Anne style legs, incorporating boldly carved knees, graceful pad feet and a particularly attractive carved shell motif to the front rail. The combination of the warm, figured elm and beautifully executed carving gives the suite an exceptionally rich and distinguished appearance.
The shaped backs feature broad central splats displaying wonderfully figured elm timbers, providing both visual impact and excellent support. The two carver chairs are particularly impressive, having elegant shepherd's-crook arms supported by finely shaped uprights.
The chairs have recently been reupholstered throughout in a quality fabric, providing a fresh and luxurious finish whilst retaining the character and charm of the traditional design. The generous proportions and comfortable lift-out seats make them ideally suited to both formal entertaining and everyday dining.
In the style of the celebrated cabinet-maker Giles Grendey, this remarkable suite possesses the elegance, scale and craftsmanship associated with the finest Queen Anne inspired furniture.
A rare and highly desirable set of twenty matching chairs, offering exceptional scope for a grand dining room and certain to create a striking impression around a substantial dining table.
Presented in good condition and ready to grace an impressive interior.
