A good and substantial hard to find long set of 12 antique last quarter of the 19th century English Victorian Dining Chairs with Mahogany 'show timber' frames attributed to Shoolbred, who was a famous English maker at Tottenham Court Road London. The Mahogany frames have studded leather upholstery to the padded backs and the sprung seats..

An image of a near identical design attributed to Shoolbred appears in the Pictorial Guide to English !9th Century Furniture.

Condition: The frames are structurally sound and the leather is in very good to excellent condition commensurate with age and use and the seats are sprung for comfort.

Size: Width 50 cm x Seat Depth 49cm x Height 92cm. H: 92cm W: 50cm D: 49cm.

Price: Our vendor paid well over $6,500 for the set of 12 chairs back in the 1980s and then spent almost as much ahain on tightening frames and full leather upholstery etc. They can now be purchased about 40 years later for only $4,750.

Sellers Observation: Ideal for a function room or perfect in a traditional Board Room or a traditional dining room. At less than $400 per chair for a rare long set of set of twelve they are very inexpensive.
