<p>[QUOTE="Fern77, post: 4540545, member: 16131"]Modern (20th century). From the back they look like it could be oak, but half stripped finish is in the way of a clear view. The seat looks like pine. Try drabbing a little paint thinner or white spirit over it and take a pic before it dries. The decoration looks like pyrography to me, not carving. </p><p>In America they'd call this style they have an air of <i>Renaissance revival</i>, I think in the UK would be simply cottage furniture. Kitchen chairs, they'd be usually called. The two, more sought after, armchairs that completed the set parted company of the rest at some point, as has the table (probably too big for modern kitchens).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
