Lot 851: A Set of Four Victorian Style Mahogany Balloon Back Dining Chairs
A set of four Victorian style dining side chairs. The frames are constructed from carved mahogany or similar dark-stained hardwood, featuring the characteristic balloon back design with an open, rounded frame. Each backrest includes a scroll-carved cresting rail and a horizontal mid-rail. The seats are padded and upholstered in a red and cream floral-patterned damask or brocade fabric, featuring a central floral bouquet motif. The chairs stand on front cabriole legs with slightly splayed back legs. The construction utilises traditional mortise and tenon joinery. An adhesive label on one chair frame shows the printed number 851 and a handwritten 13, indicating auction inventory or lot numbers.
