AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title:
Set of 4 antique oak chairs – 17th century – hand-crafted – original patina
Description:
A rare set of four antique solid oak chairs dating to the 17th century. These chairs are handcrafted and display strong characteristics of early rural European furniture, including thick solid oak construction, hand-turned legs, and visible wooden peg joinery.
The seats are made from solid oak planks and fixed with old square wooden pegs, a traditional construction method typical of the 1600s. The chairs have developed a deep, warm patina over centuries of use, with visible grain, knots, and age marks that confirm their authenticity and historical character.
The backrests feature a simple arched form with a shaped central rail, typical of vernacular craftsmanship of the period. The legs are hand-turned and connected by stretchers, ensuring stability.
These chairs were made for daily use and reflect the honest, rustic style of 17th-century provincial furniture.
Condition:
Good antique condition for their age (over 300 years).
Signs of wear, small cracks, old repairs, and surface marks consistent with centuries of use. Structurally solid and stable.
Material:
Solid oak
Technique:
Handcrafted, wooden peg construction
Period:
17th century (1600s)
