Mid 19th Century pair antique captain oak chairs

These are not just any chairs. They are antique mid-19th century captain-style tub chairs with a bentwood back and arms and turned spindles, each bearing a unique story and character. This antique pair of Victorian tub chairs is a testament to English oak elbow or captain's chair craftsmanship, dating back to the Victorian period, circa mid-1900. The pair of chairs has a delightful country house appeal with a classic bow form. They display an authentic aged patina and are in good original order. The high-quality oak shows fine-grain interest throughout in a skilled craftsmanship design. Rich chestnut hues show beneath an authentic oak finish. The upper rail is crowned with a comfortable scroll back, a butler's grasp, and desirable wooden spindles, and a patina metal stretcher rises obliquely, supporting the horseshoe armrest. Skilfully formed wide saddle squab with pronounced seat, standing upon sturdy, stout baluster legs united by a double stretcher rail. This authentic Victorian antique captain’s tub chair has attractive period tones in fine English craftsmanship—antique condition with authentic signs of original patina.
