Set of 6 Mahogany Classical Lyre Side Chairs, turn of the Century


Scroll down for 6 more photos

This style takes it cues from the great Phyfe lyre chairs produced in the early 1800’s in New York. The chairs are true to form and have magnificent carved lyre backsplats. The chairs are also defined with a carved paw foot which Phyfe used on his best examples. Also note that the stiles which run through to the sides of each seat are beautifully reeded.  These chairs are somewhat larger than the original examples and benefit by them being comfortable and commodious.   The seats have a yellow leather upholstery that is in excellent condition.

 Height: 35 in.  Width: 21 in. Depth: 17 in. Seat Height: 18 in.
