Description:

This is a stunning quality antique English Victorian mahogany desk chair, newly upholstered in a distressed green leather with a revolving mechanism, circa 1880, in excellent working condition. This office chair is designed with a curved scroll shaped bar-back, secured by wraparound arms, on shaped vertical back supports and shaped arm supports.  The chair seat has been newly professionally upholstered with traditional materials, in top quality full-grain distressed green buttoned leather.  The seat is firm enough that you do not sink into it, but at the same time is very comfortable.  The chair rotates 360 degrees.  The Victorian mahogany desk chair mechanism has been cleaned and serviced and is in good working order.  The office chair stands on splayed mahogany cabriole legs that terminate on new solid brass & mug castors.  This swivel office chair is very comfortable to sit on, has a fantastic colour and is in good condition.

 

Condition Report:

The chair frame has been cleaned and French polished to a professional standard in our workshop. The seat has been newly upholstered in top quality full-grain distressed green buttoned leather, using traditional fillings and materials. The underside is finished with traditional hessian.  The revolving mechanism is in very good working order, having been stripped down, cleaned and serviced.  The revolving mechanism is designed with ball-bearings; therefore, it benefits from a very smooth movement.  The chair stands on solid mahogany legs that terminate on new solid brass & mug castors.  This swivel desk armchair is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.

Victorian office chairs typically feature robust timber frames, ergonomic curved backs for support, and frequently incorporate swivel mechanisms with upholstered leather seats to suit 19th-century study spaces.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, paired with traditionally tanned leather hides for upholstery and brass hardware for castors and mechanisms.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery techniques, hand-turned spindles, natural patination on the timber and leather, and period-appropriate iron or brass swivel mechanisms underneath.

This piece works effectively as a functional desk chair in a study or as a contrasting accent seat paired with a contemporary minimalist writing desk to introduce historical character.

Preserve the wood and leather by keeping the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources, regularly feeding the leather with appropriate wax or balm, and dusting the timber with a dry cloth.
