Chapmanpugh Modern Antiques

Description

In General

Beautiful, excellent antique quality, rare, English, Arts and Crafts, oak, set of 6 side chairs by the renowned designer and furniture maker William Birch of High Wycombe and retailed through the famous Luxury London Department Store - Liberty & Co circa 1900.

Comprising a wonderful iconic Arts and Crafts design with stunning ring decorations to the front legs and to the back rest uprights and attractive bulbous finials to the back rails, influenced by the Glasgow School. Their modern Arts and Crafts design will work well in contemporary as well as period spaces.

These chairs are also a very attractive example of William Birch's work and are in excellent original antique condition.

The chairs have drop in upholstered seats in tan leather and brown leather effect material. The seat coverings are in a poor condition and so the seats will need to be re-upholstered.

One of the chairs is slightly taller than the other chairs with a higher curved back rest.
