About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this rare fully restored circa 1840 show framed Chesterfield tufted hand dyed brown leather library reading chair This chair is really quite exquisite, its what’s called a show frame, cabinet makers would craft ornately decorated chairs like this to take to exhibitions, the idea being they were so beautiful they would capture the attention of passing customers who would then commission pieces to be made with elements of this design. The frame is solid mahogany, the leather lovely thick English hide, the chair is finished with the original porcelain castors The chair has been fully restored to include having the leather washed back, its then been hand dyed six times, antiqued and sealed, the mahogany frame has been stripped back and French polished from the ground up Dimensions: Height 97cm, seat height 40.5cm Width 69.5cm Depth 81.5cm This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. 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.
