Lot Description
A set of six Chippendale-style mahogany dining chairs comprising five Georgian examples and a well matched later copy, each with humped toprail and pierced vase splat over a drop in seat (later covered in ivory damask) on moulded front legs, chamfered rear legs and plain stretchers, the front sear rails incised I to VI (missing II), 21.25" wide (at front of seat) x 38.5" high (54cm x 98cm)

Condition Report
One back leg re-tipped. Minor cracking to front corners. Vase splats do not 'shoe' into rear seat rail as with many 18th century examples - so could be late Georgian (eg early 19th century). some minor losses commensurate with age/use.
Later copy (made at a cost of £500) is a decent match but is lighter than the period chairs .
