Set of 8 Antique Arts & Crafts Oak Dining Chairs with Tapered Splats

ANTIQUE SET OF 8 ARTS & CRAFTS / MISSION OAK DINING CHAIRS. Bay Colony Antiques is pleased to offer for sale this wonderful set of 8 antique Arts & Crafts Oak dining chairs. We went through our collection of early Arts & Crafts furniture catalogs but couldn't find this set in any of our publications. We've handled similar sets from the Stickley family & Roycroft, but don't believe either made the chairs.

We suspect they might be English because of the unusual stretchers and Art Nouveau influence of the design. We absolutely love the tapered splats and the simplicity of the design. The chairs are nice and sturdy thanks to the base stretchers and a few of the chairs were neatly reinforced with metal L brackets. The seats need to be done over but since they're slip seats they can just be lifted out of the frame and brought to an upholsterer without having to transport all of the chairs.

The chairs exhibit near-ideal proportions & the entire design feels well balanced and well thought out. The chairs measure 17 1/2" wide x 17 1/2" deep x 35 1/2" tall with an 18 1/2" seat height. We are a wholly owned family business in our third decade of continuous operation. We have a large inventory of fine antiques ranging from Early American, Federal, Chippendale, Empire, Centennial, Victorian, 20th Century custom mahogany, Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern antique furniture along with decorative arts from across the globe.
