Three country Victorian side chairs

Description

Three Victorian side chairs with hand caned seats are painted with a feather design on the middle curved back rail. The chairs exhibit Sheraton influence but were likely produced during the late 19th century when this country style was popular. Seats are splayed (wider in the front than the back) and have slightly curved plain legs and box stretchers. The front stretch is wide and slightly curved.
