About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning fully restored hand dyed Cigar brown leather, period William IV Chesterfield Library armchair complete with original mahogany & brass reading slope 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. A very good looking and classily designed Regency piece, this chair has the look of the early Gillows chairs, if you google Regency Gillows armchair you will see what I mean. The look and feel is absolutely timeless, this chair looks wonderful in any setting. The front line of timber is very sculptural and flows effortlessly, I think its early Cuban Mahogany based on the patina, which was used by Gillow's, the legs are very ornate and hand carved from single pieces of wood. This is the only one of its type I have ever seen with the reading slope still in place, it is a work of art and would cost an absolute fortune to have made today The chair has been fully restored to include being freshly upholstered with new English leather, this is called russet hide leather which means its upholstered plain then hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed and waxed down, it is an fine a condition as you could hope to find a piece like this Dimensions Height:- 106cm Width:- 72cm Depth:- 81cm Seat height:- 47cm 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.
