Arts & Crafts Oak Dining Chairs by William Birch from Waring And Gillow, Set of 8

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A set of eight Arts & Crafts chairs by William Birch. Retailer's label Waring and Gillow. Circa 1905. The labels all state Warings, along with Waring & Gillow, which would have been the time the two companies amalgamated.

A genuine set of eight, each chair stamped 1 to 8.

The seats have been completely reupholstered, which includes being re-webbed along with a barrier cloth, and covered in a natural birch coloured linen fabric. These comply with fire regulations.

The oak frames are in very good clean condition, showing some light knocks and signs of use. There is a historic repair to the top of one roundel to a chair back. Please refer to the last photograph. The chairs have been cleaned and waxed.

Photograph number 6 is a good representation of the colour of the linen. Please get in contact if you require a swatch of the fabric.

All of the chairs are sturdy with no loose joints.

The armchairs are 106cm high x 61cm wide x 59cm deep. The inside arm width is 46.5cm at the front then tapering out.

The single chairs are 98cm high x 45cm wide at the front seats x 47cm deep.

The seat heights are 51cm on all chairs.
