An unusual English Sheraton design reading chair, circa 1890, with red leather, brass studs and an adjustable reading stand. Sculptural, functional and highly decorative.
Why We Love This
Furniture designed with a specific purpose often has the most character. This reading chair is wonderfully idiosyncratic - practical yet theatrical, scholarly yet playful. The combination of Sheraton influence, rich leather upholstery and clever functionality makes it a standout piece with real presence.
