Set of Four 1960s Oak Dining Chairs by Gordon Russell

Crafted in golden oak, this set of four chairs from Gordon Russell, straddle both the midcentury aesthetic and more classic British design. Indeed, there’s a definite nod to the Arts & Crafts in their look, material and build. And that’s no surprise as we know Gordon Russell was greatly inspired by this movement and his skills were learnt through the traditional methods used by exponents of the Arts & Crafts. We have fully restored the frames, a labour intensive but satisfying process of carefully hand-sanding, then layers of oil and finally a beeswax polish. The seat pads have clearly been recovered in recent times as they’re in such good, clean order, especially for a light colour. You can opt to have them recovered to suit which is an easy job for a professional upholsterer. The chairs are very handsome from all sides with a simple but elegant design as well as thought and consideration given to comfort.

Description

This set of four original, vintage dining chairs is ‘sold as seen’. They are in good, used condition. They have been checked for sturdiness and stability, and the chair frames have been carefully restored, a process that involved hand-sanding, followed by oil then beeswax polish. There remain some minor scuffs and marks here and there but nothing to flag. The seat pads haven’t been reupholstered but given the great condition of the pale fabric colour, we suspect that have been recovered in very recent years. It would be a simple job to have the chairs professionally upholstered if the fabric choice doesn’t suit. Overall the chairs are well-made with no wobbles or joint concerns. Do browse our photos for an accurate representation of their condition and colour. Any queries, just get in touch.
