Dining room chair (6) - elm wood

A set of six identical (dining) chairs manufactured during the Dutch Louis XVI period around 1780-1800. Such chairs have long been in fashion, especially in the Northern Provinces they were produced well into the first quarter of the 19th century.

The chairs are completely constructed from solid elm wood with the beautiful characteristic grain/flame pattern (see close-up) and the typical warm gold-orange to honey color. The chairs are built using pegged mortise-and-tenon joints. The so-called "houses" where the mortise-and-tenon joints meet are decorated with a pierced flower rosette. The backrest is simple yet elegantly openworked. The square, tapering front legs are fluted and tapering.

The entire set is in used, unrestored condition, with old repairs and in need of attention to the construction, finish and upholstery!
