<P>Here is a wonderful set of 5 simple, understated and country elegant press back oak (?) dining chairs.
<P>These chairs have the following distinct features:
<P>* Wide flat press back crestrail decorated in what I can only describe as a Victorian medallion motif.
<P>* Thin tapering spindles between simple round slightly tapered stiles .
<P>* Simple round slightly tapered stiles are capped with a small dot finial and are supported by bent brackets attaching to the seat.
<P>* Strong slightly tapered front legs are joined by two slightly tapered stretchers.
<P>* Double slightly tapered stretchers on all sides other than front.
<P>* Seat has a sweet scalloped or crest-shaped side that allows room to attach support brackets. Seat narrows towards the back (see photos).
<P>* Cane seat in all chairs.

<P>This set of chairs is old and therefore wood grains vary from chair to chair. In fact, I am pretty sure they are all oak, but the coloration and graining varies slightly. Please see photos.

<P>All chairs have cane seats. Three are in excellent condition. One has a small "butt" indentation, but is not ripped or torn and is still fully functional. One chair does have a tear and is in need of repair.

<P>Dimensions:
<P>Seat from floor: 18"
<P>Total height: 41.25"
<P>Width (at widest part of seat):18"
<P>Width (at narrowest part of seat at back): 15.5".
<P>Seat depth: 17"
<P>Width at top from finial to finial: ...
