Period Dining Chairs Eg Victorian Art Deco Depending On Style Appraisal

Set of Three Vintage Carved Wood Dining Chairs

This set includes three vintage dining chairs, primarily constructed from a warm, medium-toned wood, likely oak or a similar hardwood, exhibiting a visible grain pattern. The chairs feature a distinctive openwork backrest design, characterized by elegant S-scroll and C-scroll carvings that form a symmetrical, lyre-back or modified splat design. The top rail of each chair back is subtly curved, adding to their decorative appeal. The seats are upholstered with a patterned fabric, potentially a floral or damask motif, featuring a palette of muted greens, creams, and reds/pinks, though the pattern is somewhat obscured and appears faded or worn in areas. The chairs exhibit signs of age and use consistent with vintage furniture, including minor scratches, scuffs, and a general patina on the wooden frames. The upholstery shows discoloration and some fraying, particularly on the chair in the foreground where a small insect (possibly a beetle) is visible on the fabric, indicating potential outdoor storage or usage. The craftsmanship suggests a period style, possibly late 19th or early 20th century, or a revival piece from the mid-20th century, drawing inspiration from Rococo or Neoclassical designs due to the ornate scrollwork. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The construction appears solid, though details of joinery are not discernible. The overall aesthetic points to them being part of a larger dining set, designed for formal or semi-formal dining spaces. The condition of the upholstery indicates a need for professional cleaning or reupholstering to restore them to optimal condition, while the wood frame seems structurally sound for its age, though minor refinishing might be desired by some to address surface wear.
