Set of 4 Original Irish Chippendale Dining Chairs

🇮🇪 Ireland, circa 1760–1775 – Rare provincial craftsmanship 📏 Dimensions (each chair): Seat width: 54 cm (21.25 inches) Seat height: 50 cm (19.7 inches) Backrest height: 96 cm (37.8 inches) This is an exceptional and rare set of 4 original Chippendale-period dining chairs, attributed to Irish provincial craftsmanship from the mid-18th century. Dated circa 1760–1775, they reflect the early Georgian interpretation of the Chippendale style outside of London, likely from a workshop in Dublin, Cork, or Waterford. The chairs feature beautifully pierced and hand-carved splats with a unique interlaced ribbon motif, complemented by a striking vertical carving of three foliate drops above and below a pierced heart — a detail associated with Irish design influences, possibly a stylized clover leaf. The top rail follows a serpentine form with decorative carved shells or leaves in the corners, a classic Chippendale signature. Each chair is raised on robust Marlborough legs joined by H-stretchers, typical of Irish interpretations which favored strength, weight, and practical design. Authentic hand-cut and pierced splats with bold scrolls Unusual central foliate motif — possibly symbolic of Irish heritage Structurally solid, ready for display or light use 📍 Location: Available for viewing and collection in County Kerry. 🚚 Delivery options available upon request.
