Think they have seen better days.

Early 1900's production (possible late 1890's).

If wood is in good shape....redo and enjoy!!!!!!!  These are widely available in US at flea markets/garage sales/etc.

I bet this set will look just dandy , when you're finished workin' on em , danny1979 .
It's cool that you found a set of 4 .

The big deal , to me , when buying chairs , or just a single chair is : is it comfortable ?
I'm just goofy that way , though .

I've sat in thousands of antique chairs & have found that the purdyest are not always the comfortablest .

They would look really nice... I like the atmosphere they bring... I think I could just stay on one all they long and admire another :) I mean after a restoration!

Great price!

I love these kind of items. We always need extra chairs at my home - Mix and match are the "in" thing and these have lots of personality in the wood (not necessarily the cushions! Ha!).
