As if your going to buy them individually this is a nice example of the windors really nice paint the decoration is in great condition and the chairs are in great condition. These chairs you would pay a premium price to get it would be great to have in a set of 6 but because when you go out there your not necessarily you might find these chairs out there that are very much the same as this set. But there not they're in vary in condition another words they're aren't going to be like this if you look this set of cross the board the condition is about the same so that's what you want to find in a set, so this set will cost you upwards of 12 to 15 to $1800 for just a set of 4. You would expect to pay to 2 to $3000 for a set of 6 in great paint like this so this is like the best you can get when your collecting 19th century windors when they have the complete paint on them like this and they're all in great shape.
