The padded back and sprung seat have been newly upholstered in top quality full grain olive green leather, which has been finished with hand-tacked brass studs to the perimeter. The underside of the seat has been re-webbed in the traditional manner. The chair sits on four splayed oak legs that terminate on brass castors. The armchair rotates 360 degrees, the seat height is fixed and the chair is not designed to recline. The chair mechanism is in good working order having been cleaned and serviced.
