A Set of Six Italian Silvered Armchairs
Circa 1800
Height 35 1/2 inches.

One chair with a leg which was recently broken (after the chairs were photographed) in an area with heavy worming to the interior of the leg. The broke piece can be reattached but additional restoration would be needed to make it fully stable and usable. Another has a crudely repaired break to its front leg with a nail. Another chair with a small repaired chip on its hand hold, probably to correct worm damage. Several examples show separation at the joints but they are all sturdy and can be sat upon (excepting that with the presently broken leg), but the springs are worn and need to be replaced. Varying degrees of moderate-to-heavy worming throughout. Varying degrees of loss to the mecca finish. The upholstery slightly worn, with some light stains.
