Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
The Edwardian mahogany leather office chair is decorated with an upholstered curved bar back, twin padded backrest panels and a comfortable newly sprung over-stuffed seat, united by solid mahogany shaped armrests. The back panels are decorated with fine floral carvings. The mahogany desk 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 revolving office chair sits on four shaped mahogany legs that terminate on its original brass castors, which are in good working condition.
The mahogany leather office chair incorporates the original mechanism allowing it to rotate 360 degrees and recline backwards. The seat height can be adjusted by turning a shaped metal tap nut on the underside of the chair, while the reclining tension can be adjusted by turning the small wheel at the back of the mechanism. The Edwardian desk chair mechanism is in excellent working order, having been stripped down, cleaned and service.
This mahogany leather office chair would look superb in a variety of rooms in the home, especially the office or study as it is so comfortable. This beautiful desk chair is extremely comfortable to sit on and would certainly grace any home.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English Edwardian mahogany leather office chair, which has been newly upholstered, circa 1910, in excellent condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the mahogany chair frame and seat but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The revolving office chair has been newly upholstered to a professional standard in top quality full grain sage green leather, finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. Therefore, the leather is in excellent condition, with no signs of wear and tear, damage or holes etc. The seat incorporates new springs, therefore is extremely supportive and comfortable. The swivel chair frame has been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard. Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The original reclining and adjustable height mechanism is in good working condition having been stripped down, 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 mahogany leather office chair retains its original brass castors, which are in good working condition.
