Description:
Here is a superb quality antique English Victorian mahogany and burgundy red leather revolving desk armchair, circa 1880, which has been newly upholstered, and is in excellent condition. The chair incorporates a curved padded and deep buttoned back, which is secured to padded wrap-around arms, on ring turned vertical supports. The chair has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain burgundy red leather, which has been finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The overstuffed seat is firm but extremely comfortable to sit on. The underside of the seat has been re-webbed in the traditional manner. The chair stands on splayed mahogany cabriole legs that terminate on replacement English made top quality solid brass & mug castors. The chair has also been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard. The chair rotates 360 degrees, the seat height is fixed and the chair is not designed to recline or be height adjustable. The chair mechanism is original and in good working order, having been cleaned and serviced. The chair is extremely comfortable to sit on.
The chair exhibits a rich burgundy red colour. It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This Victorian 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 furniture.

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.
