These chairs are also a very attractive example of William Birch’s work and are in excellent original antique condition.

The chairs have drop in upholstered seats in tan leather and brown leather effect material. The seat coverings are in a poor condition and so the seats will need to be re-upholstered.

One of the chairs is slightly taller than the other chairs with a higher curved back rest.
