*Matching Pair*
Country of Origin: England
Circa: 1680
On offer is an extremely rare pair of fine late 17th Century beechwood caned chairs with The tall backs having caned rectangular panels in S-scroll carved frames beneath a pierced, crested top rail flanked by turned finials surmounting finely turned ball & reel knopped multi-baluster uprights. The seats having molded frames raised on carved legs with scroll knopped feet above turned terminals, united by pierced front rails of voluted S-scrolls and well turned H-form under-stretchers, 47" high, the seats are 19" high, 18" wide. It is rather amazing that these twins have managed to stay together through over three centuries. This presents a rare opportunity to acquire a matching pair.

Condition: Both chairs are in very good and stable condition. The caning, almost certainly a later replacement, is in good shape. There are areas of restoration work that can be seen in the pics. There are also various minor cracks, losses, dents, scratches, and surface imperfections, which one would expect to find on pieces of this age.
