Two fourth quarter 18th century, two of a later date, as stated. Two without decorated seat rails to backs. Structurally sound. Regilt. Surfaces intentionally distressed with notable rubbed and flaked losses to decoration revealing red/yellow bole, white gesso and bare wood in areas as visible in catalogue photos. Later primer and gilding possibly obscuring restoration. Separation of joints. General marks, nicks, scratches, scattered losses to carved elements and wear. Some lifting and losses to upholstery tacks. Variations to fading of leather upholstery between chairs and between backs, arms and seats of some chairs as somewhat visible in catalogue photos.
