Antique 19th Century English Country Elm Oxford Bar-Back Side Chairs - Set of 6
A charming set of six late 1800s or early 1900s hand-crafted English country elm and beech kitchen or dining room bar-back side chairs. Notable are the beautifully grained elm seats. Sculpted seats and gradually tilted backrests make for comfortable sitting. As they were hand-crafted and old, there are slight variations in the chairs. This set would be perfect with a rustic farm table! Stay tuned to my online shop as I have a couple of farm tables in the workshop at the moment... they should be finished and posted for sale soon.
Seats measure approx. 15" wide x 14.5"deep; 17" high. These chairs are old and therefore have small seats, yet they are still very comfortable. Each chair measures approx. 33.5"H x 16"W x 14"D.
Remnants of old green paint can be seen deep in some of the wood grain, see photos. There are random old repairs and fills which add to the charm of this set. One chair is stamped J.C. which is likely a maker's mark.
In good, stable condition, ready for many years of use.
