Antique English Edwardian Mahogany Revolving Captains Office Desk Armchair (Circa 1910)

1900 - 1920
Description

Here is a fine quality antique English captain’s chair, constructed of solid mahogany, with large proportions, upholstered in brown leather, circa 1910 - 1920, in good condition. This style of Edwardian desk chair was also known as a “captain’s chair” because of its large and comfortable proportions. The captain’s chair incorporates a curved, padded splayed backrest, secured to a mahogany wraparound frame, with upholstered arms, all supported by a bank of turned spindles. The chair is upholstered in a brown leather, finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The sprung seat is firm but is also extremely comfortable to sit on. The underside of the seat has been covered with black cotton lining. The captain’s chair sits on four splayed solid mahogany legs that terminate on top quality replacement English made solid brass castors, which are in excellent condition. The desk chair rotates 360 degrees; it is height adjustable and features a reclining mechanism. The captain’s chair mechanism is in good working order, having been cleaned and serviced. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit on.

Condition Report:

The Edwardian desk chair is upholstered in a brown leather, finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter – there are old age surface cracks to the leather on the seat, which adds to the character of the chair. The chair mechanism is in good working order, having been cleaned and serviced. The captain’s chair rotates 360 degrees; it is height adjustable and features a reclining mechanism. There is some play to the revolving mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of this piece of furniture. There are no breaks to the cast iron revolving mechanism. The chair frame features a rich brown walnut colour, having been cleaned and French polished in our workshop. The captain’s chair sits on four splayed solid mahogany legs that terminate on top quality replacement English made solid brass castors, which are in excellent condition. This desk chair is solid in joint and ready to use.
