Object Condition

A fine quality antique English Victorian desk chair, constructed from solid mahogany, incorporating a revolving mechanism, circa 1880, in excellent original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair frame and top rail, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The chair frame has been cleaned and French polished, to a professional standard, in our workshop; therefore, it boasts a stunning colour. The revolving mechanism is in good working order, having also 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. The chair stands on its original legs and steel castors (the castors are in good condition). There are no breaks to the back, arms or legs. The chair is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
