For your consideration is a very nice quartersawn oak desk chair. The chair was made by "JOHNSON CHAIR CO. CHICAGO" and has patent dates ranging from 1887-1895. The back spindles and turned arm supports are great, the carved arms are fantastic. The chair has been beautifully refinished and has a rare hand tied cane seat. Most of the cane seats you see today are a factory made piece that is held in place by a spline wedged into a groove. At some time in the chairs history when the original cane seat wore out an applied seat was fastened to the seat, as can be seen in the photos. The cast iron hardware retains much of the original black paint and has no breaks or damage. The chair is solid and adjust in seat height from 20" - 26" and the back 49" tall at the highest setting. As is typical of these chairs at the higher settings there is play in the threaded adjustment. Overall the chair is 24" wide x 24" deep. The ball bearing casters are new and operate freely. The chair has been cleaned and given a hand rubbed wax finish, the wood feels silky smooth! The chair is estate fresh and in my opinion it has it all, don't be sorry and let it get away. Chair will be partially disassembled for shipping. Shipping quoted is to a street address in the lower 48 states, Thanks Please take a look at my other auctions, I usually offer a nice selection
