Description

A very unusual and super quality 19th century buttoned leather back desk chair in solid oak with a crinoline stretcher, circa 1880 and in good original condition.

The original leather has the most wonderful waxy finish to it and the colour is lovely too with the light catching the buttoning.

The frame is made in solid oak with turned arm supports and legs, all finished with tramline turnings and the crinoline stretcher being both decorative and a great sign of quality, but also has helped keep this fabulous chair in good solid condition throughout its life.

The seat is well shaped for comfort and the horseshoe shaped back with the leather is just right for sitting in for many hours if you are looking for a desk chair, but also decorative enough to sit in a living room and used as an occasional chair.

Also stands on original brass castors too.

Victorian desk chairs are characterised by robust wooden construction, often featuring turned legs, button-tufted leather upholstery, and ergonomic curved backs designed for prolonged seating during the 19th century.

These chairs typically combine dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut with genuine bovine leather upholstery, horsehair or wool stuffing, and brass or cast-iron hardware.

Authenticity is determined by traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-stitched leather work, patination consistent with age, and period-appropriate hardware like brass castors.

Positioning the chair against a minimalist or contemporary desk creates a striking contrast that highlights its historical craftsmanship while maintaining functionality in a modern workspace.

Maintain the wood with appropriate micro-crystalline wax and nourish the leather periodically with specialist leather balm, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources.
