The chairs are late 19th century, not 18th century as previously described. They have been refinished. The chairs were acquired in Ireland and the carving on the knees suggest they are Irish, but the exact origin is unknown. Some of them have later seat blocks. One of them has a recent repair with a later block and tape holding its leg bracket in place. The leather seats are worn but intact. Scuffs, scratches and discolorations throughout, as is typical.
Seat Height: 19 1/2 inches.
Provenance:
Mike McGlynn Antiques, Bunratty, County Clare, Ireland, 1997
