Description

  • Armchair
  • walnut, leather
  • Made circa 1880.

Condition

This armchair is in structurally sound condition; the legs are in good condition, with their castors with new screws to front legs. The brown leather upholstery is in need of attention, with the sprung seat now torn and needing refitting - this will definitely require repair as it currently hangs below the seat line. The leather has marks, scratches and stains. When repaired this chair will be comfortable and attractive.
