A set of eight mid Victorian ‘Oxford’ kitchen chairs in ash with elm seats, comprising six side chairs and two carvers, each with a curved toprail and lightly scrolling uprights with a turned midrail to the shaped seat on turned supports united by an H stretcher, each chair stamped S. HAZELL OXFORD to the back of the seat. English, Oxfordshire, circa 1850.
