Description:
The chair incorporates a decorative burr walnut veneered curved bar back, secured by wraparound arms on turned vertical supports along with horizontal supports. Shaped vertical spindles unite the fan shaped back to the oak seat, which is saddle shaped and very comfortable to sit on. The chair rotates 360 degrees. The chair mechanism has been cleaned and serviced and is in good working order. The chair stands on splayed oak legs with replacement brass castors. The chair is very comfortable to sit on, has a fantastic colour and is in good condition.
Condition Report:
The chair and mechanism are in good 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 wax polished in our workshop. The revolving mechanism is in good working order, having been stripped down, 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 be found in all office chairs of this age. The chair stands on later brass castors. The chair is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
