These are a very good set of genuine antique, English William IV, set of six Dining Chairs in simulated Rosewood. Due to the war with France it was difficult to import Rosewood from the Central Americas so chairs were made from local Deal, coloured and hand painted to simulate the grain in Rosewood and these are six of those chairs.. The chairs have a ’show timber’ frame with a refined and curved top rail with shallow carved embellishments. The curved and carved opposed ‘S’ scrolled embellished waist rail is rather low however this allows for a padded middle horizontal rail for extra comfort. the front legs are turned, reeded and downward tapered while the rear legs are of saber form.

the chairs are structurally sound but they would benefit from a general refurbishment and reupholstering to taste.
