This very handsome pair of chairs have carved wreath style decoration to the backs, padded upholstered seat and back standing on very attractive legs. These chairs were made in Dublin Ireland by the famous maker Robert Strahan 22-24 Henry Street which has the original paper stamp on base.
Would look fantastic in a hallway, bedroom or dining room especially if you are from Dublin.
History of the maker:-
The furniture firm of Robert Strahan and Co was founded in 1776. Operating from premises in 10-11 Chancery Lane, by 1815 it was so successful that two new workshops opened at 22-24 Henry Street and 5 Leinster Street in 1845.
They displayed their work at Dublin''s great industrial exhibition of 1853, where the best examples of Irish design and manufacture were on show. In 1870 the firm moved to Abbey Street and continued to trade under the well-established family name up until 1969.
