Description

Showing here is a set of four walnut art deco chairs.
These are not perfect, the price reflects this, but they are perfectly fit for purpose and as you can see absolutely wonderful to look at and of the highest style and quality.
I know you can't gauge quality by weight but certainly in this case the above average weight of these chairs is down to the quality of the build, wood and materials.
The distinctive backrests are made of solid walnut and the lower half of the chairs are a walnut veneer except the back legs, I think. These must have cost an absolute fortune when they were first retailed to actually have such a large area intricately veneered must have been a highly skilled and painstaking process.
I would imagine this was part of a dining suite.
The upholstery I would describe as adequate but not amazing for such beautiful chairs. However I would say due to the quality of these chairs they are well worth getting reupholstered to a higher standard. But I would also say if you just want some beautiful top quality art deco chairs that look amazing frankly they're fine as they are. The fabric is all intact and the seats are comfortable. There are a couple of patches of staining which may or may not clean off.
Aesthetically the frames look fantastic. There are a few patches where the veneer has been lost which have been filled in historically. To the right hand side of the carver chair there was a split which has been filled. I'm obviously limited to the number of images I can show but as I would consider this to be the main blemish I have shown this in the images.
There are signs of general wear but on the whole as you can see I would consider it to be in good condition.
The carver has the most faults. A filled joint, some veneer missing and filled to the front bottom right of the back. Some missing and filled veneer to the back of the chair and a few tiny pieces of missing and filled veneer to the front stretcher below the front of the seat.
Another seat has again a small piece of veneer missing and filled to the front stretcher below the front of the seat a stain to the front right of the upholstery and a small piece of veneer missing and filled to the bottom right front leg.
There a few tiny and redundant worm holes to bottom of one leg but the area is totally fine.

These chairs are sturdy. Again however you will see on the photos of the underneath of the chairs metal braces have been added to the back legs which don't look great The upshot of which is however that the chairs are perfectly sturdy and completely fit for purpose but not perfect.
Price for set.

Condition report:

If you're looking for a perfect set of chairs then continue your search. I have seen these in perfect condition and they are often well into four figures. The beauty of these chairs is they are worn a little bit though they are perfectly fit for purpose and you really don't have to be neurotic about using them and worrying about their care. They are incredibly well made and perfect for everyday use.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.

The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

Price match guarantee

If you find the same item listed at a lower price (including delivery) elsewhere, we'll match it for you.
