A set of four solid wooden dining chairs made by Castle Brothers of High Wycombe in 1952. Each chair is stamped with the crowned GR VI mark, showing they were made during the reign of King George VI.
The frames are sturdy and well-crafted, with simple slatted backs decorated with wooden pegs. The seats are upholstered in the original green velvet, which has worn gently with age. A good, honest set of British-made chairs with plenty of character and history.
