The frame shape is quite unique, it has an almost prie-dieu look to it however they never have arms and are much smaller than this example, this was intended for a study or library The timber has been cleaned waxed and polished, the frame is pretty stable and carries all the wonderful patina from years of love and use, the fabric has faded as mentioned and looks again period perfect Dimensions Height:- 97cm Width:- 69cm Depth:- 88cm Seat height:- 38cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the 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.
