Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a set of six, superb, sturdy, hand-carved, antique, chairs dating from the Victorian era, with red leather upholstered seats and back rests, finished with metal studding and designed and used in council official meetings in a rural village on the Essex/Suffolk borders.
Perfect as a set of dining chairs for a large table owing to the rich colour of the leather upholstery. Would work equally as well as hall or entrance way chairs in a country house setting.
The chairs are in good, sturdy condition with wooden stretchers between the carved, turned legs providing strength and support to the chair frames. Castors are fitted to the front legs of each chair, allowing for easy movement and re-positioning of the chairs. The hand carving to the top of the back rests is beautifully intricate; carried out by skilled master craftsman.
Please note one of the chairs had a large tear in the leather seat when I acquired the set and has now been very recently reupholstered and re-covered by a professional furniture restorer.
Please note that one of the chairs is missing the very top few centimetres of the top section of the carved back rest above the leather back rest. This minor quirk does not, in our opinion, detract from the overall charm of the set of chairs nor the use or comfort of the specific chair; it is a reflection of a part of the history these chairs have lived through. Please view the last image in the gallery to see this particular chair.

Condition report:
The chairs are in good, sturdy condition with wooden stretchers between the carved, turned legs providing strength and support to the chair frames.
The leather seats and backs of the chairs are in fair vintage condition with some wear visible which does not detract from the overall charm of the items.
One of the chairs has very recently had the leather seat reupholstered and recovered by a professional upholstery service owing to a large tear in the leather. This chair has larger castors than the others. Although the colour of the leather on this chair looks different to the other images, it is due to the image being taken inside. The new leather upholstery matches well with the other chairs.
One of the chairs is missing the very top few centimetres of the top section of the carved back rest above the leather back rest. This minor quirk does not, in our opinion, detract from the overall charm of the set of chairs nor the use or comfort of the specific chair; it is a reflection of a part of the history these chairs have lived through.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
