Object Condition

This Victorian desk chair and mechanism are in good working condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the chair frame, 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. The horsehair chair has been newly upholstered in top quality full grain chestnut brown deep buttoned leather. The revolving mechanism is in good working order, having been stripped down, cleaned and serviced. There is some play to the mechanism, but this is perfectly acceptable, in line with the age of the chair, and will be found in all office chairs of this age. The chair stands on solid oak legs that terminate on replacement English made solid brass & mug castors. This swivel desk armchair is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
