Antique Library Armchair, 19th Century

About the Item

An unusual and super comfortable, late Victorian library armchair. The armchair has a wonderful shape, which has been completely refurbished in the 1960’s. The upholstery was professionally updated to a textured grey vinyl fabric and the legs seem to have been shortened and replaced with mid century castors. The change of height and colour creates a real marmite, statement piece, which we love! The chair is in great condition and extremely comfortable.
