Suite de quatre chaises en bois noirci et doré, travail anglais d'époque Regency, à la manière de Morel and Hughes

le dossier en enroulement, orné de rinceaux stylisés, reposant sur des pieds en sabre ; garniture de coton framboise

The chairs have a softer colour than in the catalogue. The painted decoration is more bronze in colour. There are old repairs to the backs and legs, as to be expected with this model. There are some small losses to the raised gilded floral carving to the sides. Old chips and scratches consistent with age and use. The chairs have been redecorated. The upholstery is clean but a little faded. Overall an attractive set of chairs.
