Description: Pairs of antique desk chairs are scarce. We have known the whereabouts of this fine mahogany and walnut pair for the last thirty years and were delighted when we received an invitation to purchase them. As the original trade label states (see image), they were manufactured by George Bartholomew & Co. (1850 - 1882) based in Finsbury and Coleman Street in London. Antique furniture that carries a maker's name is often manufactured to a higher standard than unnamed pieces, this is definitely the case with these partner's desk chairs. Why partners? A partner's desk is double-sided and can accommodate two people (partners) working on it simultaneously, and to add to the symmetry yet further, a pair of desk chairs would have been also commissioned. However, over the ensuing years, the majority were separated, leaving few true pairs from this period. Now they have been sympathetically restored these rare survivors are ready to grace your office, study or library. Measurements - 87 cm high x 64 cm wide x 61 cm deep
