Description:
This is a fine quality antique harlequin set of six French kitchen chairs, in the Louis XV style, made from solid oak, with a ladder-back design, featuring drop-in rush seats, circa 1920, in good original condition. The harlequin (matched) set of French oak chairs comprises two armchairs and four side chairs.
The side chairs feature a shaped top rail with a shell carved cartouche and two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design within the shaped upright supports; the chairs feature “drop-in” rush seats, all of which are in good condition. The shaped seat frame incorporates a shell carved motif apron. The seats are raised on fine cabriole legs to the front (which terminate on curled toecaps), with straight legs to the rear, all of which are united by elegantly turned stretchers for added strength and stability.
Likewise, the two armchairs feature a shaped top rail with scribe carved detail and two further shaped rails below, in the form of a ladder-back design within the shaped upright supports; the chairs feature “drop-in” rush seats, all of which are in good condition. The chairs backs are secured by sturdy shaped arms, raised on formed vertical supports. The shaped seat frame incorporates a scribe carved details to the apron. The seats are raised on fine cabriole legs to the front (which terminate on curled toecaps), with straight legs to the rear, all of which are united by elegantly turned stretchers for added strength and stability. The six French kitchen chairs are heavy in weight, which is a good sign of fine quality and it means they are also sturdy.
The six-oak chairs boast a warm, golden oak colour. They boast a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and the years of care and cleaning they have received.
The six kitchen chairs would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the kitchen or dining room. They would certainly grace any home in either a contemporary or traditional setting; they are a great investment, as they are an extremely functional item. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique harlequin set of six French kitchen chairs, in the Louis XV style, made from solid oak, with a ladder-back design, featuring drop-in rush seats, circa 1920, in good original condition. This is a harlequin (matched) set of French oak chairs comprising two armchairs and four side chairs. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair frames have been glued and the wood has been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The chairs incorporate drop-in rush woven seats, which show signs of age and wear (some surface fraying) but are perfectly functional and in-keeping with the age of the chairs, they are solid in joint and are of good quality. The six French kitchen chairs are heavy, which is a sign of good quality and ensures they are sturdy. The oak chairs are solid in joint, they do not wobble and are ready to use.

Free UK Delivery*:
We offer free delivery to mainland England, Wales, and Southern Scotland (anywhere south of Stirling). *We do not offer free delivery to locations north of Stirling in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any British Islands off the mainland; for example, the Isle of Man, Isle of White and Channel Islands. If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.
Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers' contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.

A free 14-day “no quibble” returns policy (from the date you receive the item) is available if you are not happy with this item.

We will collect returns using our own specialist furniture delivery company. We will not accept returns via a courier service (due to experience of damaged items in transit).
