About This Antique Revolving Desk Chair:
Design and Construction:
Makers often chose oak for utility office chairs. This was because of its natural strength. In addition, this armless revolving desk chair features a comfortable curved bar back. An elegant vertical fan back and strong bentwood supports hold it in place. As a result, you can sit on the chair in comfort for long hours. Finally, the chair stands on four sturdy splayed oak legs.
Green Leather Seat and Restoration:
We have newly upholstered the seat to a professional standard. For this, we used top quality full-grain dark green distressed leather. We then finished it with hand-tacked brass studs around the edge. In addition, we re-glued the frame in our workshop. We then cleaned and French polished it by hand.
Revolving and Height-Adjustable Mechanism:
The chair has a revolving mechanism that turns a full 360 degrees. However, it does not recline; it only revolves. To adjust the seat height, turn the large metal nut under the seat. Rotate the chair at the same time. We have also cleaned, restored and serviced the mechanism, so it is in good working order. Moreover, the frame is sturdy, and the padded seat makes the chair very comfortable to sit on.
Condition Report:
This fine quality antique English George V oak office chair dates from circa 1920. It is in excellent condition. We have newly upholstered the seat in top quality full-grain dark green distressed leather. Hand-tacked brass studs finish the edge. The height mechanism is in good working order, because we have cleaned and restored it. There is some play in the revolving mechanism. However, this is perfectly acceptable for the age of the chair. In addition, we have cleaned and French polished the frame by hand in our workshop. As a result, it has a lovely golden-brown colour. Overall, the chair is solid in joint and ready to use
