    Trying to work out any further info on these two chairs. Apologies for grainy photos the file limit here is challenging!
    They have Cope makers mark coasters but not a lot else. Pretty sure the upholstery is original Oxblood velour (?)

    any idea / info would be marvellous.

    In the UK I think they are described as 19th century country house style chairs.

    Likely 1870 or so. I very much doubt that this is the original upholstery; probably 1930s-50s. Actually, I’d like to see the upholstery removed from the frame. I suspect that it is obscuring the original lines to some extent.

    Ah. Good to know. I was wondering if there were that age due to the coasters; which provide the only tangible info to the uninitiated.
    any idea of the makers. Some Howard and son have similar forms and legs but I know there are chairs in that style.

    Howard and Sons sounds reasonable.
