These antique Chippendale dining chairs are constructed of very high-quality mahogany with rich grain. This can be seen in the intricately shaped splats which are framed by broad yoke crests and scrolled balloon sides stiles. The side stiles have shaped profiles which gracefully join the raked back rear legs. The molded seats have shaped aprons joining cabriole legs on slipper feet. The original slip seat frames are constructed of maple.
