A spectacular set of ten carved solid mahogany dining chairs was hand-made by one of America's finest makers, "Colby's Hand-made, Founded 1866." Colby was probably the finest furniture maker in Chicago until the 1920's, when they discontinued cabinetmaking and became retail stores only.
The deep rich gleaming finish is excellent. Eighteenth Century Georgian furniture designs like this are called "Adam" after the three famous Scottish architects and designers to royalty.
Tapered legs are fluted and understated carving includes oval medallions, all in exquisite proportions. Superior quality in every way, these delicate but sturdy chairs have stretchers connecting the legs for extra strength.
Newly upholstered in European tapestry, the "saddle" shaped seats are wide and comfortable.
Historic American antiques, the 8 side chairs measure 20" wide, 23" deep, 39" tall and seats are 20" high. Two arm chairs are 24" wide, 25" deep and 41" tall.
Matching pieces in photos are priced separately, call or email for availability.
