About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this stunning original Victorian Circa 1860 English Mahogany and Brown Leather reclining Metamorphic daybed armchair finished with oversized porcelain castors Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price. Where to begin! What an armchair! This piece is super rare, I have only ever seen one other example in fabric, this piece is finished in early cattle hide leather upholstery which has been hand dyed from new. The chair sits as a normal library armchair, then the fun begins, you can manually recline the back in one of around 8 sitting positions, the arms disconnected and slide down meaning you can exit the chair from either side, at the front under the seat base pulls out a height and angel adjustable footrest, lastly the seat is height adjustable at the front. This chair can lay totally flat and be used as a bed Condition wise, the piece was sent to my cabinet maker and French polisher to have the mechanism fully restored, the timber has then been waxed back and lightly French polished, the leather is in fine order so has been left how it is apart from a clean wax and polish Dimensions for the armchair Height:- 110cm Width:- 75cm Depth:- 104cm Seat height:- 57cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
