Union Flag chairs.....




I wasn't sure when I bought these modern chairs from a fellow dealer  whether they would fit in with my old stuff.
The black "laquer" finish  ( mmm, I think black gloss paint )  looked a bit tacky.... but I liked the fabric.....and they were very reasonable....
Anyway, they have gone in the Conservatory end of the kitchen, replacing an old Ikea chair and now it all looks a whole lot smarter.
They are actually, surprisingly comfortable with their big overstuffed seats and padded arm rests.....even the shiny paint is growing on me.....

Have a good weekend,

  6. Very smart and attractive chairs and I think the black woodwork sets the fabric off well.

  7. They look terrific in that setting - you could always distress the black paint a bit - hit it a few times with a bicycle chain!!

  8. Wow. I absolutely LOVE these chairs and they do look fantastic with the old chest and surrounded by light from all the windows!

    Good luck with your next fair and have a good few weeks until we "meet" again.

    Warm regards,
