Victorian Tufted Leather Cockfighting Chair, with pleated, deep button back and arms. The stuff-over seat with piping and brass studding, on tapering, slightly out-swept back legs and turned, ring turned, tapering and onion fluted front legs on brass cups and castors. The intentionally distressed leather color is dark olive green with a brownish hue. A cockfighting chair, with broad armrests that form a yoke with the back rail, to which a reading desk may be attached. Broad in front but curving inward toward the back, the seat was shaped so that a reader could easily sit astride, facing the desk at the back of the chair and resting his arms on the ends of the yoke.
