DESCRIPTION:
Estate fresh. Just recently discovered in an old barn of a finely appointed, sprawling estate here in southern New Hampshire. Clearly signed with a branded stamp 'Old Hickory, Martinsville, Indiana' on the table's bottom crossbar. This wonderful, original and absolutely authentic Old Hickory of Martinsville, Indiana carved hickory side chairs, feature hand carved, fitted joinery and still largely intact original woven rattan seating. They're without fractures or other appreciable damage, less some slight bark loss and a minor to moderate scuff on one of the chairs. They were never covered in clear lacquer or varnish and maintain their original dry, matte surfaces. They're solid, stable and very well-preserved. The accompanying and absolutely outstanding carved hickory side table, has an oiled, rubbed wood plank, multi-board top, that still has demonstrable evidence it was used and used often in the northern New Hampshire hunting lodge where it was taken from, after it was brought back to the owner's principal residence, where it was subsequently found in the barn. The table is absolutely fantastic, with pegged side legs, supported by diagonal trusses, sitting on padded hickory feet. It resembles a hickory wooden Erector set with visible joinery and construction methods. 100% authentic. Original. Fantastic. Very rare and particularly scarce, especially in this kind of well preserved original vintage condition. Rare and simply outstanding. With winter's chill now in the still fall evening air, what are you decorating your ski chalet or winter lodge with, while you warm up with a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire? Imagine this incredible set front and center in your home. Terrific.
 
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
