Pair Of Arts & Crafts Oak & Leather Desk Chairs

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: The Antique Furniture Company

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).
