Description

This is a fine quality antique Scottish Edwardian desk chair, constructed of solid oak, incorporating a revolving, reclining & height adjustable mechanism, with a newly upholstered green leather seat, circa 1910, in good working condition. The Edwardian desk chair is designed with a curved bar back, supported by lower fan back supports. The back secures to shaped arms on elegant vertical shaped supports. The back and arms connect to the seat, which has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain green leather. The underside of the seat has been re-webbed in the traditional manner. On the back of the set is part of either the manufacturers or retailers’ label, which makes reference to 91-93 Hanover Street, Edinburgh. The Edwardian desk chair sits on four splayed oak legs that terminate on the original steel castors, which are in good condition. The desk chair incorporates a restored Hillcrest mechanism allowing it to smoothly rotate 360 degrees and recline backwards. The seat height can be adjusted by revolving the chair, while the tension of the reclining action can be adjusted by turning the small wheel on the front of the mechanism. The Edwardian office chair is extremely comfortable to sit on as it features a lovely upholstered seat with a high back.

Condition Report:

The seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain green leather. The reclining and adjustable height mechanism is in good working order, having been cleaned and restored. There is some play to the revolving mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair. The Scottish antique Edwardian office chair boasts a rich golden oak colour, having been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. This revolving office chair retains its original steel castors, which are in good working condition. This oak office chair is solid in joint and ready to use.

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, often combined functional commercial utility with lighter, more streamlined proportions compared to heavy Victorian predecessors.

These chairs were typically constructed using solid quartersawn oak frames, combined with cast iron mechanical components, brass castors, and genuine leather upholstery stuffed with traditional horsehair or coir.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct iron swivel mechanisms, hand-cut wood joinery, genuine aged patina on the leather, and castors marked with manufacturer patents or stamps from the early 20th century.

Pairing a traditional wooden swivel chair with a contemporary minimalist desk creates a sophisticated contrast that adds character and ergonomic functionality to a home study.

Maintain the wood with high-quality microcrystalline wax and treat the leather periodically with pH-balanced leather preservative to prevent drying and cracking, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
