Condition Report

The chairs have some flex across the seat frames and will require some firming up.

The beechwood frames show some peppering of historical woodworm and one rail has a bizarre plywood capping applied that I can not explain, perhaps to hide old wood worm flight holes?

Some lengths of reeded moulding missing or damaged

One splat has been damaged and crudely glued back together, this could be enhanced considerably.

The quality of mahogany is excellent but the chairs will need some work to firm up, they don't wobble like a proverbial "jelly" but when force is applied some flex can be felt in the framework.

One carver chair cresting rail has come loose but not off.
