Set of (8) 19th C English Windsor Armchairs

Included here is a set of eight (8) English Windsor hoop-back (sack back)arm chairs dating from the nineteenth century, made from yew wood with elm seats. Chairs measure 41.5"-42.5" high, 21"-21.75" wide, and 23"-24.5" deep. Seat widths vary from 14" to 16" and seat heights are all roughly 18". All have wonderfully rich, matching patinas consistent with chairs from the early to mid 19th century. We have individual shots of each chair from multiple angles and will be glad to forward additional images upon request.this set comes from the collection of Roni Steinberg Sokoloff, and resided in her former 63-acre estate in Bedford New York known as Cantitoe Farms. The set was purchased by Ms. Sokoloff from Ann Morris Antiques of 239 E. 60th Street in New York in the 1980s. In 1998 the set was appraised by Sotheby's for $18,000. We will be happy to provide a photocopy of the appraisal at time of purchase. The set resides in a climate-controlled storage facility in northern Nj, and may be seen by appointment. These sack-back chairs feature bowed crestrails above seven spindles, shaped saddle seats, splayed vase and ring-turned legs, and "H" shaped stretchers. Overall condition of the set is very good. Each has discrete floor sliders affixed to the undersides of the legs. The set requires the following minor repairs which we will complete at our expense prior to shipment. The hoop arm at one end and a few spindles on one chair require regluing. The turned support of one arm on another chairs must be reglued to the seat. On one chair there is a clean break to one of the members of the stretcher and the entire "H" stretcher must be reglued. On this same chair there is a repaired break to the corner of the seat Two original spindles on one chair need to be reglued and are not shown in our image. Thanks for visiting. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
