Know before you buy
This item is sold as a set of two chairs.
The seat height is 20 1/4 inches. This is slightly higher than the standard 18-inch dining chair, so ensure your table has enough clearance for your legs.
No, these chairs are designed exclusively for indoor use. The mahogany construction and fabric upholstery are not suitable for exposure to outdoor elements.
The chair features a drop-in seat, which is a traditional design that allows the upholstered seat to be easily removed for cleaning or reupholstering.
The splayed tapering legs are a hallmark of the George III style and provide a sturdy base. While they offer a refined, light aesthetic, they are structurally sound for standard dining use.
