A Pair of Estate Made English Oak George I Hall Chairs, Early 18th Century
Located in Llanbrynmair, GB
This exceptional pair of hall chairs showcases the simplistic yet refined elegance of early 18th century English furniture design. Crafted from beautiful dark English oak, these chairs feature a splat back silhouette and an unusual inverted stepped arch top.
