Three Painted Stick Back Chairs
This lot comprises three painted stick back chairs offered as a matching set. Each chair has a flat, slightly shaped seat and a row of slender vertical spindles rising to a horizontal top rail. The set is finished in a dark grey-blue paint that unifies the three pieces in colour and form.
The chairs have straight, tapering legs joined by low crossbar stretchers, which give the set a simple and practical construction. The spindle backs are evenly spaced, and the seats are shaped to a gentle curve at the front edge. No maker’s name or marks are evident, so the chairs are offered as unbranded pieces.
Condition and Collector Interest
The paintwork shows general wear consistent with age and use, with areas of chipping and rubbing. Lighter wood shows through in places, most noticeably along the top rails, the edges of the seats and the lower sections of the legs. The seats show scuffs and light marks, and the spindles display some surface wear. Buyers who value original surfaces may appreciate the patina left by this wear, or they may wish to refinish the chairs to their own preference. The matching trio offers a practical starting point for a dining space, a kitchen, or a painted furniture project.
