This superb swivel office chair is crafted from oak, a wood particularly prized in the Victorian era for its strength and durability. It is distinguished by its elegant fan-shaped back, typical of the period, as well as its refined bentwood armrests. Rarely used, this chair was preserved for many years as a museum display piece, which explains its remarkable condition. Its original cast-iron mechanism allows for easy height adjustment and ensures smooth swiveling. The rebound tilt provides genuine comfort, making this chair a fine example of furniture that is both functional, robust, and steeped in history.
