Antique hall chairs, singles, pairs and threes

A wooden chair usually without arms, with a wooden seat and an upright shaped back, sometimes including a carved family crest. They were placed in the entrance halls of large houses and are exceedingly uncomfortable and present day purchases are for decorative rather than practical use. Suggestions that they were purposely made uncomfortable, to discourage the servants from sitting down on the job, are probably exaggerated. Hall chairs were designed by Chippendale among others, and the general style continued for at least the next century.
