This style of chair was also known as a “tub chair” and has been newly upholstered in full grain green leather. The chair features an elegant upholstered splayed back in a “wraparound” style that connects to the moulded frame. A bank of ring turned spindles connect the arms to the seat frame. The stuff-over seat is sprung with horsehair filling; which makes it extremely comfortable and it features a simple moulded frieze below. The leather is finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter of the seat frame. The seat is connected to the base by four sturdy cabriole shaped legs, which features upturned toes and terminate on later brass castors. The chair revolves 360 degrees and does not recline; chairs of this style were not designed to recline or be height adjustable. The chair mechanism has been cleaned and serviced and is in excellent working order. The chair is extremely comfortable, has a fantastic colour and is in excellent condition.
