A commanding take on the classic English library chair, this vintage executive swivel chair pairs a tall, gracefully arched balloon back with deep diamond tufting in rich, cognac-brown leather. The tufting flows seamlessly from the back into the rolled, tufted arms, while the biscuit-tufted seat is built over traditional coil springs for the supportive, resilient comfort found in quality old-world upholstery. Double rows of antiqued brass nailheads trace the arms, back, and serpentine seat apron. The chair sits on a sculptural four-legged mahogany-finished base with a reeded center column and scrolled rosette-carved feet, finished with polished brass ball casters. It swivels and tilts, and the seat height adjusts by simply spinning the chair on its threaded center post. Equally at home behind a partners desk in a paneled study or as a warm, traditional counterpoint in a modern home office.
Exact age and origin are unknown, but clues point to a mid-century American build.

The leather shows natural creasing and a soft, lived-in patina throughout. The arm and seat had minor crazing, which was professionally stabilized by a leather specialist. There is a small area of finish wear, roughly 1 inch wide, on the upper back of the chair just below the nailhead trim, likely from contact with a wall, and not visible from the front. The wood base shows minor finish wear and small nicks to the scrolled feet. The brass casters are left unpolished for a lovely vintage look. The casters roll smoothly. less
