Pair of Arts & Crafts Oak & Leather Desk Chairs

An unusual pair of Arts & Crafts oak desk chairs upholstered in dark green leather with brass stud edging. With a deep buttoned padded shaped top rail and back above a pear shaped sprung seat these are sometimes referred to as ‘cockfighting’ chairs and allow the sitter to face in reverse with their arms resting on the chair back. On substantial square tapering front legs and outsplayed legs to the back.

These are a very comfortable pair of chairs and would be a handsome addition to an office or library, in good condition and seem to have been relatively recently recovered as the smooth dark green leather only shows light signs of wear on one. There is slight movement in the arms/back of one chair and one seems to have the castors flattened on one side of the wheels (perhaps prevent it rolling too easily).

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or more photos as we are limited in the number we can upload.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
