We bought six mahogany T-back chairs for the dining room. They are late-19th/early-20th century reproductions of either Georgian or Queen Anne style. They are simple, but beautiful. Some are a little rickety and all need to be cleaned. I will reupholster them with fabric that matches our decor (black/white/gray).
Bill took some pictures of the chair seats. As you can see below the bottom layer is extremely old, leading me to believe it is the original upholstery. It appears to be white or off white silk.
Since this is Butterfly Farm Manor, I had to throw in the picture of the rescue dog---a Papillon---the couple had that sold us the chairs. |
