(A) No less than EIGHT rosewood chairs (probably rosewood, that is, in the opinion of two furniture experts)! Magnificently high backed and deep-cushioned (spring-loaded), newly upholstered and ready for your next dinner party. They're 40 inches tall at the back, 20 front-to-back, 16 across at the widest point of the seat, and the crown of the seat is about 21 inches off the ground. (e-mail Jack for a price)

(B) And a set of six attractive, sturdy French 1940's chairs just hit the deck, and upholstered in silk, no less! They've been refinished in a dark walnut stain, but you can see the attractive wood grain here and there. There's some staining on a couple of the seats, but the price reflects those slight imperfections (read: affordable). They're 38 1/2 high at the back, and the seats are about 17 by 17; the seat crown is 19 1/2 off the ground. Great Art Deco "starter" chairs. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 (C) A simple pair of French 40's "bridge" chairs. They're quite light, but sturdy -- and, of course, stylish! (e-mail Jack for a price)

  These are heavy, sturdy, almost "architectural" chairs. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 (G) One of a pair of side or dining chairs. Dimensions: 17 1/2 wide, 16 deep, 35 1/2 high (e-mail Jack for a price)
(I) One of another pair of bridge chairs, these with an unusually configured arm. (e-mail Jack for a price)
 (J) A pair of French armchairs from the 40's. Dimensions: 22 wide (includes the arms), 21 deep, 31 1/2 high. This pair is almost exactly the same as the set of four, below, "E;" I think the only difference is a slightly greater rake on the arms of this pair. (e-mail Jack for a price)
 (L) It's tough to include a pair of actual antique chairs in this lineup of trendy 40's and 50's chairs... but here goes... covered and backed in leather, with graceful carvings on the top... fluted legs... probably from the 20's. The pair: (e-mail Jack for a price)
 
(M) Four early Art Deco dining armchairs by Thonet (American). One has the remnants of the original tag! They're 36 1/2 high at the back, about 21 1/2 wide at the arm, made of a solid wood. They're gloriously comfortable, sturdy and well built. Once these are refinished and reupholstered, they'll be very special chairs indeed -- and oh, so stylish! Stomp your left foot three times and I, your faithful antiques slave, will get the work done! (e-mail Jack for a price)
