Sold by Yolanda Gray Antiques

Description

Here is good quality antique English Edwardian solid beech revolving office armchair, by A. H. Parker Ltd, circa 1910, with a newly upholstered green leather seat, in excellent working condition. Originally retailed by the A.H. Parker Furniture & Decoration Ltd., who resided at 30 Camomile Street, EC3, London, and were the original retailers of this office chair. The desk chair is designed with a comfortable curved bar beech back, connected to wrap around arms, supported by an elegant vertical splat back. The chair seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain green leather, which has been finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter and traditional hessian webbing to the underside. The chair frame has been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard. The office chair incorporates a Hillcrest 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 is in good working order. The chair sits on four splayed solid beech legs that terminate on the original brass & porcelain castors, which are in excellent condition. The chair frame is sturdy and the item is extremely comfortable to sit on, as it features a lovely padded seat.

Condition Report:

The desk chair boasts a rich brown beech colour having been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop, along with the years of care and cleaning it has received. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair frame but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain green leather, which incorporates the traditional brass studwork tacks to the seat perimeter and traditional hessian webbing to the underside. Therefore, the leather is in excellent condition, with no wear, fading or damage. The Hillcrest reclining and adjustable height mechanism is in good working order. There is some play to the mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair. The chair features the original brass & porcelain castors, which are in excellent condition. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
