Restored William IV Reclining Library Reading Brown Leather Armchair Footstool

This chair is a wonder to behold, the reclining action is operated by two buttons one under each arm, you simply squeeze the arms and then slide back to one of the 14 different position settings, its all very well made. The back of the frame has the original patent label with manufacturers stamp on that has sadly worn but great that it still exists.

The frame is all hand-carved from solid english mahogany. The oversized brass castors are period and original to the chair, they were made by (and stamped) Cope & Collinson who were the only company Howard & Son’s trusted to make castors for them as they copied their design perfectly

As you can see the foot rest sits perfectly inside the frame, it slides out easily and has a height and position adjustable footrest

The chair has been fully restored to include being hand dyed this lovely deep cigar brown colour, the hide has natural imperfections and marks from honest use and fair ware,
