The chair rotates 360 degrees the seat height can be adjusted by turning a ribbed metal screw on the underside of the chair. The chair also boasts a reclining action. The tension of the reclining action is governed by two springs, which can be individually adjusted by turning the small wheels to the front of the mechanism. The chair mechanism has been cleaned and serviced and is in good working order. The chair stands on splayed oak legs with brass & mug 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 chair has been newly upholstered in top quality full grain crimson red leather, which incorporates traditional brass studwork tacks to the seat perimeter. 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, in line with the age of the chair, and will be found in all office chairs of this age. The chair stands on oak legs with brass & mug castors. The chair is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
