Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English oak office chair, from the Edwardian period, incorporating a revolving, reclining & height adjustable mechanism, with an oak “saddle seat”, circa 1910, in excellent original condition.
The back secures to shaped arms on elegant vertical shaped supports. The back and arms connect to the lower section, which features a comfortable solid oak “saddle shaped” seat. The English oak office chair sits on four splayed oak legs that terminate on English made replacement solid brass castors. The chair incorporates the original mechanism, which has been cleaned and restored; allowing it to rotate 360 degrees and recline backwards. The seat height can be adjusted by turning a ribbed metal screw on the underside of the chair, while the tension of the reclining action can be adjusted by turning the small wheel on the front of the mechanism. This Edwardian desk chair is extremely comfortable to sit on as the seat follows the contours of a traditional horse saddle.

The English oak office chair retains the original steel and brown mug wheel castors, which are in good working order. This Edwardian desk chair is solid in joint and ready to use.
