English oak rush seat chairs, pad feet, circa 1890

A charming pair of antique spindle-back side chairs showcasing classic 19th-century English craftmanship. Each chair features three horizontal back rails adorned with six hand-turned spindles, lending elegance and structure to the tall backrest. The rush seats are hand-woven in a traditional checkerboard pattern, adding rustic warmth to their form. Turned front legs and a decorative stretcher bar provide both durability and visual appeal, while simpler side and rear stretchers reinforce the frame. These chairs exhibit a rich, aged patina, reflecting years of use and care. Good antique condition with minor surface wear and natural aging to the wood and seat. Sturdy and structurally sound.
