About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this exceptionally rare and super collectable Antique Victorian George Hepplewhite Wheatgrass revolving captains chair which has been fully restored with hand dyed brown leather seat pad This chair is really quite exquisite, it's the only Hepplewhite I have ever seen, it comes with the period late Victorian cast iron movement, this was the absolute pinnacle of technology in the day as it was one of the earliest designs for height adjustable chairs The chair has been fully restored to include having the leather washed back, it’s then been hand dyed six times, antiqued and sealed, the oak frame has been stripped back and sympathetically French polished from the ground up. Dimensions Height:- 102cm adjustable to 111cm Width:- 60cm Depth:- 51.5cm Seat height:- 52cm adjustable up to 61cm 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 description 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.
