A bank of vertical turned bulbous spindles connect the shaped bar back and arms to the oak seat frame. The chair frame and seat is constructed of a stunning piece of oak; the medulla rays in the timber are superbly pronounced. The chair features a “saddle” seat, which is extremely comfortable. The chair sits on four splayed oak legs that terminate on its original brass castors.

The tension of the reclining action can be adjusted by turning the large screw and the chair can be raised or lowered on the central steel thread. The chair mechanism has been cleaned and serviced and is in good working order. The chair also features a reclining action. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit on.
