Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
The back of the chair is secured by two Bentwood style single-piece down-swept arms, secured by turned spindles below. The seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain green leather; finished with brass studwork to the seat perimeter. The underside of the seat has also been re-webbed in the traditional manner. The American desk chair retains its original cast iron mechanism, which has been cleaned and serviced. The seat is height-adjustable and the chair reclines, with an adjustable working tension spring and handle. The chair rotates 360 degrees; it is height adjustable (with a locking latch – see photos) and also features a reclining mechanism (the tension cannot be adjusted). The chair terminated on protruding splayed oak legs and terminates on new solid brass and brown mug castors. This oak office chair is extremely comfortable, as it boasts a high-back with a padded leather seat. This style of chair originates from North America; they were particularly used in law enforcement (Sheriff) offices and also in other public offices in the latter part of the 19th century.
