Description:
The chair is designed with an elegant curved bar back, incorporating a decorative central pierced splat below, all of which is secured by the shaped arms. The chair boasts a stunning quality “saddle shaped” seat, which is extremely comfortable to sit on. The chair revolves 360 degrees (please note, these earlier Victorian office chairs were not designed to be height adjustable or tilt). The chair stands on its original cabriole legs and features solid brass castors (the castors are in excellent condition). The chair is very comfortable to sit on and it has a fantastic colour and is in excellent overall 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 French polished, to a professional standard, in our workshop; therefore, it boasts a stunning colour. The revolving mechanism is in good working order, having also 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 solid brass castors (the castors are in excellent condition). There are no breaks to the back, arms or legs. The chair is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
