Description:
This is a fine quality antique English George V solid oak armless revolving small desk chair, with a newly upholstered green leather seat, circa 1920, which is in excellent condition.

Oak was a popular timber of choice for utility office chairs, owing to the natural strength of grain in functional furniture.

This particular office chair retains what could be an old depository painted label on the underside of the seat, which reads “P.A.C”.

The revolving desk chair features a comfortable curved bar back, supported by an elegant vertical fan back, with bentwood supports. The small desk chair seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality full grain dark green distressed leather, which is finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The office chair frame has been tightened, cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. The chair sits on four splayed sturdy oak legs which are fitted with four new solid brass castors. The small desk chair incorporates a revolving mechanism which rotates 360 degrees. The seat height can be adjusted by turning a shaped metal large nut on the underside of the chair and rotating the chair at the same time. This office chair was not designed to recline (it only revolves). The chair mechanism has been cleaned, restored and serviced and is in excellent working order. The desk chair frame is sturdy and the item is extremely comfortable to sit on, as it features a lovely padded seat.

The small desk chair boasts a golden-brown oak colour. It has a lovely patination which can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.

This swivel office desk chair would look superb in a variety of rooms in the home or office, in either a traditional or contemporary setting. It would certainly grace any home.
