Description:
This is a fine quality antique English Edwardian bentwood office chair, constructed from solid oak, incorporating a revolving, reclining & height adjustable mechanism, with a newly upholstered green leather seat, circa 1910, in good working condition. The antique revolving office chair is constructed with an elegant bow-shaped top rail, above a high-back of shaped spindle bars, providing plenty of back support. There is a lovely bit of history to this chair – the top rail retains the original owners’ metal plaque, which is inscribed “Presented to the Rev. John Sinker. From the working people of Child’s Hall London, November 1902”. The antique desk chair was a gift in the early 1900’s in London
The back of the antique swivel desk chair is secured by two Bentwood style single-piece down-swept arms, secured by turned spindles below. The padded seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain green leather finished with brass studwork to the seat perimeter. The underside of the seat has also been re-webbed in the traditional manner.
The antique oak desk chair retains its original cast iron mechanism, which has been cleaned and serviced. The seat is height-adjustable and the chair reclines, with an adjustable working tension spring and handle. The vintage oak chair rotates 360 degrees it is height adjustable (with a locking latch – see photos) and also features a reclining mechanism (the tension cannot be adjusted). The swivel chair terminates on protruding splayed oak legs and terminates on new solid brass castors. This antique oak revolving chair is extremely comfortable, as it boasts a high-back with a padded leather seat.
The antique bentwood revolving chair boasts a rich dark-brown oak colour this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. This antique oak office chair would look superb in a variety of rooms in either a traditional or contemporary setting, especially the office or study as it is so comfortable. It would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
