Design, Comfort & Upholstery
The back then connects to shaped arms via elegant, vertical shaped supports. Meanwhile, the back and arms join the seat, which our workshop has newly upholstered to a professional standard in top-quality, full-grain green leather. As a result, the chair offers excellent comfort, even over extended periods of sitting. In addition, the underside of the seat has traditional re-webbing, which provides plenty of support. Finally, the English antique Edwardian revolving desk chair rests on four splayed oak legs that terminate in new solid brass and porcelain castors.
Mechanism & Adjustability
The chair incorporates its original, restored and cleaned cast-iron mechanism, which allows it to rotate a full 360 degrees and recline backwards. To adjust the seat height, simply turn the ribbed metal screw on the underside of the chair. Similarly, you can adjust the tension of the reclining action by turning the small wheel located at the back of the mechanism, on the right-hand side.
Colour & Patina
The English antique revolving office chair boasts a rich, golden oak colour. Indeed, the desk chair carries a lovely colour and patination that only age and years of careful care and cleaning can achieve.
Our workshop has newly upholstered the seat to a professional standard in top-quality, full-grain green distressed leather. Additionally, the reclining and height-adjustable mechanism work well, since we have just cleaned and restored it. Naturally, the mechanism shows some play, but this remains perfectly acceptable and consistent with the chair's age. Notably, an ingenious side locking nut reduces flex in the mechanism — a feature you rarely see on Edwardian desk chairs. Furthermore, the English antique wooden office chair boasts a rich, golden-brown colour, since our workshop has cleaned and hand French-polished it to a professional standard. The English antique desk chair also incorporates vintage steel castors in good condition. Overall, this desk chair has solid joints and stands ready to use.
