Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English Art Nouveau oak office chair, featuring a revolving and reclining mechanism, which is also height adjustable, with a newly upholstered leather seat, circa 1910, in excellent condition. The Edwardian desk chair features a high-back consisting of a curved scroll shaped bar, supported by a pierced central fan splat, flanked by bar shape outer stiles. The back is also secured by shaped arms, decorated with scroll tips, which stand on shaped supports. The seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain red leather; finished with antique bras studs. If you do not like the leather colour, we can replace it with a colour of your choice for £40 labour. The underside of the seat has been re-webbed in the traditional manner; therefore, it provides ample support. The seat front is decorated with a shaped and moulded apron. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit on as it benefits from a newly upholstered seat with a supportive high-back. The Art Nouveau oak office chair retains its original cast iron and stell mechanism allowing it to rotate 360 degrees and recline backwards. The seat height can be adjusted by turning a ribbed metal screw on the underside of the chair, while the tension of the reclining action can be adjusted by turning the small wheel on the front of the mechanism. The oak office chair mechanism has been cleaned and restored and is in excellent working order. The Art Nouveau oak office chair sits on four splayed oak legs that terminate on new English made solid brass & mug castors.
The Art Nouveau oak office chair boasts a rich golden-brown oak colour. As it boasts the original patination, it has a fantastic colour; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This antique revolving desk chair would look superb in a variety of rooms in the home, especially the office or study as it is so comfortable. This item would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of office furniture.
Condition Report:
Here is a fine quality antique English Art Nouveau oak office chair, featuring a revolving and reclining mechanism, which is also height adjustable, with a newly upholstered leather seat, circa 1910, in excellent condition. The seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain red leather. If you do not like the leather colour, we can replace it with a colour of your choice for £40 labour. The reclining and adjustable height mechanism is in good working order, having just 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. There is a small chip to the top of the cast iron block (visible in the photos); this does not compromise the structural integrity of the mechanism and is purely a cosmetic related condition. The Art Nouveau oak office chair boasts a rich golden-brown oak colour, having been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshops. The chair incorporates new English made solid brass & mug castors, which are in excellent working condition. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.

Free UK Delivery*:
We offer free delivery to mainland England, Wales, and Southern Scotland (anywhere south of Stirling). *We do not offer free delivery to locations north of Stirling in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any British Islands off the mainland; for example, the Isle of Man, Isle of White and Channel Islands. If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.
Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
