pair of early victorian oak hall chairs

Circa 1860, good pair of early Victorian solid oak hall chairs with enclosed upright backs, crowned with carved acorns and oak leaves. At the side is a rustic carving of branches and beneath this is another cluster of leaves and acorns. There are 2 barley sugar uprights and at the bottom of the splat is a small beaded edge. The splats are quarter sawn showing off the beautiful grain of the oak. The seat tapers from front to back and has canted corners. Beneath this is a moulded edge and a simple apron running round the front and sides. The back legs are outswept and the front legs are very stylish starting with a fluted vase like top with a slow turn barley sugar leg beneath finishing in a turning and tapering toe. The chairs retain the original patination and are in excellent condition.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
