Each chair retains a Heal’s button label affixed to the base. Constructed from country oak with a warm honey oak colour, the chairs have a strong geometric form characterised by broad square arms and substantial exposed timber frames. The reclining mechanism incorporates old metal hinges and iron runners, allowing the chairs to adjust into a more relaxed seating position. The functional metalwork complements the straightforward construction and practical character of the design. Both chairs have recently been reupholstered in grey fabric, providing a restrained contrast against the honey-coloured oak. Generously proportioned and comfortable, they offer practical seating alongside their distinctive early 20th-century design. An attractive matched pair of Heal’s reclining chairs, retaining their identifying button labels and combining substantial oak construction with adjustable reclining mechanisms.
