Advance order - allow approx 12 weeks delivery

David Newton, Owner Thank you for your interest in the Antique Replica Furniture. Since 1990, Victorian Replicas has been importing pieces which faithfully replicate the materials and methods used 200 and more years ago. We have many different hand-carved mahogany replicas of English Antiques in Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Regency, Queen Anne and english Victorian styles. We have a 48 page color catalog which shows some 500 different items: Chairs, foot stools, duet stools, dining tables, beds, sofas, cabinets, mirrors, etc. etc. This collection was developed over many years by select Antique Dealers such as D.C. Stuart of Bournemouth, England. The catalog is available for a small charge to cover air-freight and postage charges. I think the main feature of the furniture that we sell is the QUALITY that is a result of the relationship that we have built up with our supplier of over 15 years. Quality starts with his contracts with the government-supervised mahogany plantations and continues through final sanding, assembly and finishing. This control gives us the confidence to offer you furniture that is well-made from best quality wood - true replicas of quality pieces that have stood the test of time and that should give you and your family pleasure for generations to come! www.victorianreplicas.com (415) 552 6367

These new chairs are copies of a popular Thomas Chippendale inspired design of 1780 or so that originated in England. Chairs of this period normally had straight plain legs, but those who could afford it delighted in the shaped cabriole leg with a ball foot held by a claw. We have several different designs of Chippendale chairs with Ball & Claw feet and what I found fascinating is that the claw feet are different on each design! This is because they were copied from antique originals made by different craftsmen. They are made of solid plantation-grown honduras mahogany. The set consists of 2 armchairs and 6 sidechairs - extra sidechairs may be added if required. These hand-carved chairs are made in exactly the same way as the originals by the same supplier who has been making chairs and other fine mahogany furniture for me since 1990.

These chairs will be made for you - please specify whether you want the traditional Rich Mahogany stain or an equally rich brown Antique Walnut stain which has less of a red tone. A neutral cream damask is normally supplied for the upholstery, and the seats lift out so you can easily re-cover them with your own fabric at a later date. 6 chair seats can be covered by only 2 yards of fabric 54" wide, so you can splurge on something special!

The price includes delivery to your home by a "white glove" furniture delivery service. Allow 12-14 weeks for production and delivery from the date of your order.

I will be delighted to answer any questions about them

David
