EIGHT MIDCENTURY 1960S FYNE LADYE FOR HEALS DINING CHAIRS BY RICHARD HORNBY
An outstanding set of eight midcentury dining chairs designed by Richard Hornby for Fyne Ladye Furniture, Banbury, at some point in the late 1950s – early 1960s, and retailed through Heals.
They are made in solid Afromosia, a dark African hardwood, similar to teak and not used so much beyond the mid sixties when it became rather too expensive to import.
This set includes one carver and we love the wide welcome of the arms on this chair, perfect for the head of the table, whoever that may be!
The contoured back, tall seat height and generous seat width make these ideal for those who love a slow-eating, long dinner party.
The green leather upholstery is new and each seat cushion has been recently reupholstered in one of Crest leather’s “Shelly - Mountain Tree” tone, which is soft and comfortable.
The overall design of these chairs is slim and elegant, perhaps more traditional and refined than some of its British mid century contemporaries.
