Antique Mahogany Dining Chairs – Set of 6 – Needlepoint Seats – c.1880 #22521

Exceptional antique set of six solid mahogany dining chairs dating from the 1880s. This elegant Victorian dining set includes one armchair and five side chairs, all featuring beautifully shaped extra tall backs with intricate pierced center splats and graceful carved detailing throughout.

The chairs rest on classic ball and claw front legs with shaped rear legs joined by curved cross stretchers, giving the set a refined and sturdy construction that reflects the quality craftsmanship of late 19th century furniture making. The tall backs and flowing silhouette create a dramatic and sophisticated appearance rarely found in typical dining chair sets of the period.

The seats retain their vintage needlepoint upholstery with floral motifs, adding warmth and character to the overall presentation. The upholstery appears serviceable overall and displays attractively, though a professional cleaning would further freshen the fabric nicely.

Overall nice original antique condition showing light finish fading consistent with age and use.
