Description:
The chair retains the cabinetmakers’ label on the back of the seat frame.
The chair seat, bar back and arms have been newly upholstered in top quality full grain sage green leather, which has been finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The chair sits on four splayed oak legs that terminate on solid brass castors. The chair incorporates a revolving mechanism and it rotates 360 degrees; the seat height can be adjusted by turning a ribbed metal screw on the underside of the chair. The mechanism also features a reclining action, the tension of which can be adjusted by turning a small wheel at the front of the mechanism. The chair mechanism has been restored and serviced and is in excellent working order. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit on as it features a lovely padded seat.
Condition Report:
The chair and mechanism are in good working condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair seat, bar back and arms have been newly upholstered in top quality full grain sage green leather, which incorporates the traditional brass studwork tacks to the perimeter. Therefore, the leather is in excellent condition, with no wear, fading or damage. The reclining and adjustable height mechanism is in good working order, having just 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. The chair features a rich golden brown oak colour, having been cleaned and polished in our workshops. The chair features solid brass castors, which are also in good condition. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
