Superb pair of leather Gainsborough chairs
Here we have this superb pair of mahogany chairs covered in fine leather.
The leather hand coloured and antiqued.
The chair was made in the resereved Georgian style but with subtle embellishments like the finely carved paterae on the arms.
The straight square champhered legs with cross stretchers make the chair sturdy but also classic in style.
Each chair stands on brass castors

This wonderful pair of chairs would have been made in one of the best workshops in the early part of the 20thc.
