This is a wonderful set of 8 antique oak chairs that are c.1870 and were made by the HALE MANUFACTURING CO. of EAST ARLINGTON, VERMONT. They have real cane seats that have all at some point in the life of the chairs been replaced...on the inside of the seat rail on 1 of the chairs, a handwritten inscription says, "new seat 1-19-92" and 2 other chairs have a date in the same hand that dates 1-12-94 and 2-2-94. The height at the back of the chairs is 33", the seat height is 17 3/4", seat width at the front is 18" and the seat depth is 17"...the width of the seats where the stiles meet the seat is 16". There are of course slight variations in the turnings but these 8 chairs were bought and used as a set for their entire life in 1 home. 1 chair has an ingenious reinforcement under the cane but there is no evidence of there being any damage to the chair or the seat...this was perhaps done for a heavier member of the household. The style of these chairs is the best of that period, with an open hand-hole at the crest of the back which is very nicely bent and shaped, These chairs sit very comfortably. AT some time they had been expertly refinished and they are all in excellent condition. For a shipping quote on this item, please contact AC TRANSPORT @ or .
