Description:
The chair features an elegant curved bar back, which is connected to the scroll with down swept arms. The chair seat has been newly upholstered with top quality full grain burgundy red leather, which has been finished with hand-tacked studs to the seat perimeter. The underside of the seat has been webbed in the traditional manner. The chair design is quite unique with the shaped back above a central pierced splat. The chair revolves 360 degrees (please note, these early office chairs were not designed to be height adjustable or tilt). The seat is connected to the top section of the revolving mechanism, whereas the four sturdy cabriole legs, which stand on the original brown mug castors, are connected to the lower section of the mechanism. The chair is very comfortable to sit on and it has a fantastic colour and is in excellent condition.
Condition Report:
The chair and mechanism are in original working condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair frame, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair frame has been cleaned and polished in our workshop. The chair has been newly upholstered in to top quality full grain burgundy red leather, which incorporates the traditional brass studwork tacks to the seat perimeter and traditional webbing to the underside. The revolving mechanism is in good working order, having been cleaned and serviced. There is some play to the mechanism, but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair, and will found in all office chairs of this age. The chair stands on its original legs and features its original brass and brown mug castors (the castors are in good condition).
