Set of Four Georgian Elm Chippendale Country Dining Chairs, George III, Late 18th Century

Set of Four Georgian Elm Chippendale Country Dining Chairs, George III, Late 18th Century A particularly attractive and honest set of four Georgian elm dining chairs, dating from the late 18th century, George III period, circa 1770–1790. What makes this set especially appealing is the survival of all four chairs together, in matching form and condition, and without obvious later alterations or restoration — something that is increasingly uncommon with country chairs of this type, many of which have been mixed, strengthened, or rebuilt over time. Each chair is constructed in solid elm and features a shaped yoke top rail above a pierced vasiform splat, with single-piece plank seats showing bold natural grain. The square legs are united by H-stretchers, giving the chairs excellent strength and practicality, just as originally intended. The colour and surface have developed naturally over more than two centuries and retain a pleasing, mellow patina, giving the set considerable warmth and character. These are genuine Georgian country chairs with strong visual presence, well suited to everyday dining use, while also appealing to buyers who value originality, untouched surface, and the integrity of a true surviving set.
