Antique Set of Six Quality Victorian Rosewood Balloon Back Dining Chairs
Description
A fine quality set of six antique Victorian rosewood balloon-back dining chairs each beautifully hand-carved and displaying a rich, well-figured grain with excellent colour and patina. The elegant balloon backs feature graceful scrolling lines and a finely carved central motif above traditionally upholstered stuff-over-seats finished in a soft black velvet fabric.
The serpentine front rails curve gracefully into cabriole front legs with subtle carved detail complemented by rear sabre supports — a refined and well-balanced silhouette typical of the mid-19th century. The rosewood frames exhibit a warm, lustrous polish that highlights the natural beauty of the timber.
All chairs are sturdy, structurally sound, and ideal for everyday use, combining practicality with timeless elegance.
