Description:
Oak was a popular timber of choice for utility office chairs, owing to the natural strength of grain in functional furniture. The revolving desk chair features a comfortable curved bar back, supported by an elegant vertical fan back, with bentwood supports. The armless desk chair seat has been upholstered in a tan-brown leather, which is finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The office chair frame has been tightened, cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. The chair sits on four splayed sturdy oak legs. The armless desk chair incorporates an English Hillcrest revolving mechanism which rotates 360 degrees. The seat height can be adjusted by turning a shaped metal large nut on the underside of the chair and rotating the chair at the same time. This office chair was not designed to recline (it only revolves). The chair mechanism has been cleaned, restored and serviced and is in excellent working order. The desk chair frame is sturdy and the item is extremely comfortable to sit on, as it features a lovely padded seat.
Condition Report:
The small desk chair seat is upholstered in tan-brown leather, which is finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. Some age-related old use marks to the leather, but nothing significant considering its age. The adjustable height mechanism is in good working order, having been cleaned and restored. There is some play to the English Hillcrest revolving mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair. The English antique desk chair boasts a rich dark-brown colour, having been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. This desk chair is solid in joint and ready to use.
