Antique Edwardian Oak Ladies Revolving Office Chair Adjustable Height Cooke's London C.1910

1900 - 1920
For Sale by MebleinUK
Description

A beautiful and characterful antique oak revolving office chair, dating from approximately 1900–1920, featuring an adjustable-height seat and an original Cooke's (Finsbury) Ltd London trade label.

This elegant chair features a beautifully shaped oak backrest with slender vertical spindles, gently curved supports and a warm natural wood finish that highlights the attractive grain of the oak.

The seat is upholstered in charming pink and white floral-patterned fabric, finished with decorative braid around the edges, creating a lovely contrast with the traditional wooden frame.

One of its most distinctive features is the original metal screw mechanism beneath the seat, allowing the sitting height to be adjusted.

The chair stands on a traditional four-legged wooden base with elegantly curved feet, giving it a classic Edwardian office appearance.

An original metal trade label beneath the seat reads Cooke's (Finsbury) Ltd, London, with several historic London business addresses.

A wonderful piece of early 20th-century office furniture, combining practicality, craftsmanship and decorative appeal.

Ideal for a traditional writing desk, home office, dressing table or as an attractive occasional chair.

This Edwardian desk chair dates from 1910 and takes the form of an antique revolving office chair in warm brown oak with a pink patterned fabric seat. The piece incorporates a curved spindle backrest above an adjustable-height seat fitted with a metal screw mechanism and an original Cooke's Finsbury Ltd London trade label underneath. The wooden frame is finished with decorative braid bordering the upholstery, while the base consists of splayed quadruped legs terminating in curved feet. The dimensions are 96 cm high by 45 cm wide by 44 cm deep. Practical applications for this piece include placement at a traditional writing desk, home office desk, or dressing table, or use as an occasional chair. The design pairs well with a gentleman's library or period study aesthetic, providing functional seating through its swivel mechanism and sturdy Edwardian construction.

Popularised in the early twentieth century, Edwardian revolving desk chairs were designed for commercial and home office environments, featuring central swivel mechanisms beneath timber seats and backrests.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring iron threaded height adjustment mechanisms and solid splayed timber bases.

Authentic examples feature heavy metal swivel mechanisms beneath the seat frame, hand-turned spindles, visible grain typical of quarter-sawn oak, and maker stamps or metal maker plates.

Pairing an oak revolving chair with a contemporary minimalist desk or a classic writing bureau creates a striking textural contrast in a study or home office.

Apply natural beeswax polish to the timber frame regularly to protect the finish, and lubricate the metal thread swivel mechanism with light machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
