Lot 036: Set of Three Antique Chairs, Late Victorian / Edwardian

Description

A collection of three antique upholstered chairs, late 19th to early 20th century, crafted from dark stained hardwood with various decorative back designs. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Late Victorian to Edwardian Period (late 19th to early 20th Century) * Material: Dark stained hardwood (likely mahogany or walnut), various upholstered fabrics. * Style: Eclectic collection displaying Late Victorian carved and turned elements, with one chair featuring casters. * Dimensions: Each chair is approximately 80 cm in height. Condition: The first chair exhibits significant active or past woodworm damage to the frame, particularly visible on the underside and back, along with worn upholstery and heavily used casters. All three chairs show general surface wear, scratches, and chips to the wooden frames consistent with age and use. Upholstery on all chairs is worn and faded. Interesting fact: * The use of casters on chairs became popular in the Victorian era, allowing for easier movement of heavy furniture within rooms. This reflects a period when furniture was often elaborate and less easily repositioned. Use: Ideal for an antique collector seeking individual decorative chairs or as project pieces for restoration.
