An elegant and highly decorative set of six antique walnut ballon back dining chairs, showcasing refined mid-19th-century craftsmanship and beautifully sculpted form.
The gently serpentine crests are richly carved with foliate detail, flowing effortlessly into shaped open backs with delicate pierced and carved ornament — a design that is both graceful and architectural.
The chairs are raised on finely swept cabriole legs terminating in scrolled feet, giving the set a light, poised stance while retaining excellent strength and balance. The walnut is of particularly good quality, displaying a deep, warm patina that only genuine age can produce — mellow, lustrous, and unmistakably original.
Each seat is generously upholstered in a traditional striped floral fabric that complements the period form, offering both comfort and visual harmony. The chairs are structurally sound and present exceptionally well, making them equally suited to refined daily use or formal entertaining.
A rare opportunity to acquire a complete and well-matched set of antique walnut dining chairs — ideal for a country house, townhouse dining room, or an interior designer seeking authentic period elegance with real presence.
