A Pair of Late Victorian Ash and Elm Hoop-Back Windsor Side Chairs - This pair of late 19th or early 20th-century side chairs is designed in the traditional Windsor style, featuring steam-bent hoop backs and vertical spindles. Each chair incorporates a decorative pierced central splat with a circular motif. The construction utilises solid elm for the contoured saddle seats, showcasing a prominent and attractive grain, while the hoops and spindles are fashioned from ash. The chairs are supported by ring-turned legs united by an H-stretcher, a classic feature of vernacular English furniture design. The dark-stained finish enhances the natural timber grain. No maker's marks or labels are present. Dimensions: H 88 cm x W 42 cm x D 44 cm.
