Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English Victorian mahogany and leather revolving captain’s office armchair, circa 1870, which has been newly upholstered, and is in very good condition. This style of chair was also known as a “Captains chair”. The chair incorporates a curved buttoned padded scroll back, secured to padded arms, on shaped vertical supports. The chair frame incorporates a lovely shaped spindle back, finished with reeded scribe detail. The chair has been newly upholstered in top quality full grain crimson red leather, which has been finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The underside of the seat has been re-webbed in the traditional manner. The chair sits on four splayed mahogany cabriole legs, with raised toes, that terminate on brass castors. The chair rotates 360 degrees, the seat height is fixed and the chair is not designed to recline or be height adjustable. The chair mechanism is in good working order having been cleaned and serviced. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit at.
Condition Report:
The chair and mechanism is in good working condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the mahogany chair frame but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair seat has been newly upholstered in top quality full grain crimson red leather. Therefore, the leather is in excellent condition, with no signs of wear and tear, damage or holes etc. The chair frame incorporates the traditional brass studwork tacks to the sprung seat perimeter and traditional hessian material to the underside. The chair mechanism has been cleaned and serviced. There is some play to the revolving mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair. The chair frame features a rich brown mahogany colour, having been cleaned and polished in our workshops. The chairs’ brass castors are also in good condition. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
