They are a period suite made in the correct way with dowel joints and dovetail stretchers. The six standard chairs are all the same, the pair of carvers are a his and her pair so they have slight differences to the line of the back they have black upholstery under the antique william morris removable covers, they are all in very good order apart from one which has worn at the front, you can still buy this fabric from morris & co to replace it if you wish. The seat platforms are original and in varying conditions, if I were to keep the chairs myself I would have them repadded and upholstered with a nice georgian damask fabric in blue in keeping with the originals by chippendale condition wise, we have cleaned waxed and polished them from top to bottom, they have normal age and use related patina marks here and there as you would expect from 190+ year old pieces.
