Description:
This is a fine quality antique English Edwardian oak desk chair, circa 1910, incorporating a revolving mechanism, with a “saddle” shaped seat, which is in excellent original condition.
The oak office chair is designed with a comfortable curved bar back, supported by an elegant vertical fan back and shaped supports. The seat is extremely comfortable to sit on, having been designed with a ‘saddle’ shaped seat. The oak office chair boasts a lovely mellow golden oak colour, having been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop. Therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The oak office chair sits on four cabriole shaped solid oak legs that terminate on its original steel castors. The chair incorporates a revolving mechanism which rotates 360 degrees; the seat height can be adjusted by turning a ribbed metal screw on the underside of the chair. The mechanism also features a reclining action, the tension of which can be adjusted by turning a small wheel at the back of the mechanism. The Edwardian oak desk chair mechanism has been cleaned, restored and serviced and is in excellent working order.
The chair frame is sturdy and the item is extremely comfortable to sit on, as it features a lovely padded seat. This Edwardian desk chair would look superb in a variety of rooms in the home or office. It would suit either a traditional or contemporary setting.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English Edwardian oak desk chair, circa 1910, incorporating a revolving mechanism, with a “saddle” shaped seat, which is in excellent original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The adjustable height mechanism is in good working order, having just been cleaned, restored and serviced. There is some play to the mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair. The chair has been French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. The chair sits on four solid oak legs that terminate on its original steel castors. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.

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.
