A Pair of 18th Century George II Mahogany High Back Chairs on Carved Cabriole Legs
A very attractive and rare pair of 18th century George II mahogany side chairs, circa 1730-1740. England

A powerful suite of mahogany and beechwood chairs was made for the Treasury of Whitehall by an unknown maker in 1739.
