This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of 12 kitchen chairs, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a Windsor hoop & stick back design, from the Victorian period onwards, circa 1890 – 1930, in excellent condition.  The Windsor chairs, which have been constructed in the early 20th century, are constructed with six spindles to the inside of a single piece oval shaped ash moulded back rail, supported by a two further supporting spindles at the back of the chair, for added strength. The back rail is connected to the single piece saddle shaped elm seats and turned beech legs connected by “H” beech stretchers, which makes them a firm utility chair, ideal for daily use in the kitchen.  The stick back style of chair first originated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England and were known as “Windsor chairs”.  The 12 kitchen chairs boast a stunning rich colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the seats. 

This set of 12 kitchen dining chairs boasts classic period country styling; they would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting and they consume very little space.

The 12 kitchen dining chairs feature a rich brown ash and elm colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through the years of care and cleaning they have received.

The 12 kitchen dining chairs would look superb in the kitchen or dining room. They would certainly grace either a contemporary or traditional setting.  They are a great investment they are extremely functional.  So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

If you are looking for a different number of chairs, we do have other size sets available.

As this is a harlequin set of chairs, there is a small variation in chair dimensions:

External Width = 43.5 – 45.5cm / 17⅛” – 17⅞” / 1ft 5⅛” – 1ft 5⅞”

External Depth = 48cm / 18⅞” / 1ft 6⅞”

Seat Height = 46.5cm / 18¼” / 1ft 6¼”

Seat Depth = 36cm / 14⅛” / 1ft 2⅛”

Back Height = 43.5 – 44cm / 17⅛”- 17¼”/ 1ft 5⅛” – 1ft 5¼”

This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of 12 kitchen chairs, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a Windsor hoop & stick back design, from the Victorian period onwards, circa 1890 – 1930, in excellent condition.  Nominal old use marks to the leading edges (e.g., seats, back and legs) but nothing significant considering the age of them.  The chair joints have been glued and the chair frames have been French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore, the colour and patination of the set are excellent.  This is a harlequin (matched) set and therefore there is some variation in the colour and size of the chairs.  The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble.  They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
