Furniture - Beds, Chairs & Stools

394 A pair of brass and white painted headboards. (39.5in x 42in) - These have turned brass finials to corners with white painted rails joined by similar brass moulded spindles. They are a reproduction pair that would screw onto a pair of divan beds. : £20-30 (Furniture - Beds)

22 A late Victorian upholstered wing armchair. - This wing armchair is a nice shape, with upholstered back, padded arms, sprung seat, with cushion moulded apron raised on turned bun feet with casters. It looks to be in the original upholstery. : £40-60 (Furniture - Chairs, Stools)

181 A pair of art nouveau oak elbow chairs. (2) - These have back rails carved with stylised tendril foliage with oval panels. They have studded upholstered padded backs with shaped arms supported on barleytwist columns. They have drop-in upholstered seats in plain rails supported on barley twist column legs joined by rectangular stretchers with turned feet. They are in the original treacle brown finish and are reasonably sound. The backs of the chairs are also upholstered with studding. : £40-60 (Furniture - Chairs, Stools)

284 A set of six oak upholstered dining chairs. (6) - A set of upholstered oak dining chairs, five singles and one carver, with later fabric covering on brass studded leather, having sprung upholstered seats raised on baluster turned legs joined by rectangular stretchers, the elbow chair with crook arms. (6) These are good solid dining chairs obviously with later covering upholstery. They have square padded backs upholstered above shaped aprons with stuff over upholstered seats on baluster turned legs joined by rectangular stretchers. The colour of the oak is good and I would suggest that they are circa 1900. They have sprung seats and webbing. They include a nice carver with crook shaped arms of excellent worn colour. The upholstery is not to everyone’s taste. The stretchers are scuffed and worn as one would expect but structurally sound. Obviously these were leather upholstered previously as one can see from underneath and the current upholstery just covers the leather so presumably the leather is torn which is why they were recovered in this red material. The brass studding has been left and the gimp is on the inside of the lines of brass studding. So presumably some of the leather could be intact but we haven’t pealed all the bits off. : £100-150 (Furniture - Chairs, Stools)

288 A set of four late Victorian dining chairs. (4) - These have shell carved backs above bobbin turned spindles with reeded rails and stiles.

311 A set of four reproduction pine kitchen chairs. (4) - These have arched top rails above splats cut with a V flanked by slats.

It is a bit wobbly, but would re-glue and strengthen up. : £40-60 (Furniture - Chairs, Stools)

427 A pair of nineteenth century walnut masonic armchairs. (2) - A pair of nineteenth century walnut masonic armchairs, with arched upholstered backs flanked by square columns, with square carved terminals to arms having elbow pads, above sprung upholstered seats on panelled rails raised on turned and lappet carved legs with brass cappings and casters. (2) These chairs came from a Masonic hall which is why we have catalogued them as such. They are distressed - as the hall had been used as a youth club for some time. They are heavy with square columns. The finials are missing from the backs. Upholstery is tired. The carvings to the arms are bold and good. The turned legs are lappet carved and have the original brass cappings and casters. One of the chairs has an applied carving of a book on the arch to the back. It reads “The Law was Given by oses but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.” The other bits of carving are missing. Suggest chairs are circa 1870. : £300-500 (Furniture - Chairs, Stools)

432 A set of four late Victorian ‘aesthetic’ walnut upholstered dining chairs. (4) - These are good quality chairs, with rounded padded backs inlaid with boxwood and ebony stringing and rectangular finials. The padded backs are supported on three spindles.

The six singles are darker stained compared to the two carvers which are lighter brown. They all need refinishing and one or two structural repairs, but they are circa 1900. : £400-600 (Furniture - Chairs, Stools)

(4) The three chairs are original and barn fresh, some of the joints are loose and there is evidence of worm. One chair needs re-upholstering as the upholstery is tatty, the other two chairs appear to be sound. The fourth chair that makes up the marriage set is different but sound with a later cotton covering to the original upholstery. The set of three are all a little bit wobbly but they have nice carpet upholstery seats. They obviously need restoration. They are scuffed and generally worn but haven’t been done up. They are all creaking. The married one is in fact the strongest of the lot and that has a later seat covering over the stuffover seat. It has spindles in the back.
