English 1920s Brownish Green Leather Chair with Mahogany Cabriole Legs
Located in Atlanta, GA
English brownish green leather chair circa 1900-1920, with carved mahogany legs. Step back in time with this English brownish green leather chair, hailing from the early 20th century (circa 1900-1920). This sophisticated piece is a wonderful addition to a home office or a gentleman's library, with its stately presence and historical charm making it a focal point in any room.
The chair is generously adorned with time-honored features that echo the workmanship of English artisans. Crafted with a mahogany frame, the chair showcases stunning carved cabriole legs at the front, balanced by slightly saber-shaped legs at the back.
The seat itself is upholstered in a rich, brownish green leather, which has weathered gracefully over time. Some distressing on the leather contributes to the antique aesthetic, narrating a story of years of use and lending a distinguished touch to your decor. A brass nailhead trim intricately lines the periphery of the upholstery, adding a contrasting metallic edge that further accentuates its elegance.
This English leather chair...

Sculptural Patinated Oak Spinning Chair, Europe Ca Early 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
The ‘spinning chair’, this historic type of seating has had numerous modern interpretations across Europe, however, most preserved the main functional characteristics: solid wood, enduring, high quality craftsmanship, a tall, straight back for good posture and freedom of movement.
The art of spinning yarn is thousands of years old, but the spinning wheel as we know it is estimated to have arrived in Europe around the middle of the 13th century and along with it came the three or four-legged spinning chair. The backs were often hand carved with various motifs or fantasy creatures making each one unique and individual. As this oak chair shows, the Modernist movement influenced the traditional design by removing most of the intricate decorative elements, and substituting them with a more streamlined structure. The carved high back and octagonal seat...
