A rare 19th century leather and walnut swivel pullman carriage railway club chair. Circa 1870.
with first class resembling an elite private clubhouse, the pullman carriages were sumptuous and decadent, as shown in the sketch of an early first class pullman carriage included in the photographs. The midland company, who first adopted the pullman cars, constructed luxurious vehicles in which every elegance and comfort were placed within the reach of the english traveller.
the rich dark brown leather upholstery is finished with copper studs. The leather appears to have been replaced in 1949. There is a marking to the underside which states 'ar 1949'. The identical chair i have listed has a pencil to the underneath, reading 'a. Weatherill - doncaster aug 1949 - re-covered', and i can only assume this one was done at the same moment in time.
the leather seating is very comfortable. It has been cleaned with a natural balsam. It is in very good condition, showing some signs of use as expected. To note, some slight scuff and indentation marks, and a not very obvious line mark running diagonally across the front back rest, along with various light nibbles. It feels like it has been upholstered with traditional inners.
the show frame is made in solid walnut, with burr walnut veneers on the front frieze and downward arms, sitting on a cast iron and steel swivel base. A circular plinth base has been added, probably at the same time it was reupholstered, as it would have originally been bolted to the carriage floor.
the walnut frame and base have been cleaned and waxed. There are marks and knocks to the front walnut edge of the chair, the base has scuff marks and knocks. There are some flat areas to the sides of the base in places, making it not a perfect circle. Some of the burr walnut veneer has worn from the left hand upright. Please refer to the photographs.
the pedestal has been moved back to its central position from the more forward position it was in. The swivel is in very good working order. There is one screw out of the eight missing to the steel plate, holding the seat to the base, but the base is very secure and would cause no issues.
additional dimensions information:
71cm wide at the arms. The base is 61cm diameter. The seat is 47cm high.
the chair is 71cm wide at the arms. The bases are 61cm in diameter. The seat height is 47cm.
