The frames have been glued and clamped where required, treated for insects as a matter of process not need, then deep cleaned waxed and polished the timber on these chairs is a bit of a lottery jackpot, they have the original scalloped backs which is basically the honeycombed look and feel, but these panels are all burr oak. The timber is super rare, highly collectable and the finest of all the mouseman pieces x4 standard chairs dimensions: height 90.5cm, seat height 46cm width 45cm depth 46.5cm x2 carver chair dimensions height 98cm seat height 46cm, arm height 70.5cm width 57cm depth 57cm, arm depth 63.5cm please note all measurements are taken at the widest point condition please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
