How do I adjust the height?

Adjustment is typically achieved by spinning the seat itself clockwise or counter-clockwise on a central wooden or metal screw thread until the desired height is reached. Some models also incorporate metal under-seat levers or tension springs to control the backward tilt of the backrest.

Were these used in ships?

Yes, certain variations were adapted for maritime use on passenger liners and vessels, such as those associated with shipping lines like P & O. These marine examples often feature heavier construction or specialised floor fastenings to remain stable while at sea.

Are the leather seats original?

Leather upholstery on these office chairs frequently shows signs of extensive workplace use, leading to period or later replacement. Original hides typically exhibit deep patination, while replacement leather is applied neatly over the original stuffing or solid wood base.

How do I tell Victorian from Edwardian?

Victorian examples generally date from the late 19th century and tend to feature heavier carving, darker timber finishes, and more ornate spindle work. Edwardian pieces from the 1900s and 1910s often display cleaner lines, lighter oak tones, and simpler commercial office forms.
