Superb Antique Heywood - Wakefield Oak Office Chair.

This is a really incredible swivel office chair.  The chair has many adjustments.  The contoured back support will adjust up and down.  The back support will also adjust in an arc toward or away from the seat.  The seat height is adjustable by lifting a lever above the 4 star base and turning the seat clockwise to lower the seat or counter clockwise to raise the seat.  When the height adjustment lever is down (nestled into the notch in the seat post) The seat will rotate around in either direction without changing the height.  Also there is a tension adjuster under the seat. 

This chair is incredibly solid.  The seat and the base are crafted from 1  1/4" solid oak.  The seat is quartersawn oak which is comprised of tongue and groove segments.  The base has an iron spider which is held with screws and 4 bolts and keeps the legs tight against the column. The chair rolls on 4 casters. 

The Seat has a metal tag on the back wih Heywood Wakefield Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.  There are remnants of a red and white paper label underneath the seat.  I can make out the words "Heywood Brothers and Wakefield".  The round iron adjuster knob for the back support height adjustment is candlewicked.  The round iron knob for the back support arc adjustment has "H. B. & W.  Co.  TW" embossed, which stands for Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Co.

Please review the pictures for condition and email with any questions. This used antique chair has wear commensurate with its age.  The leather back support has scuffs,wear, spots, losses,and the horsehair padding is showing. The material on the rear of the back support is coming away.  A tack is missing on the back support and another is dented.  There is a missing piece of leather which attached to the rear of the seat and the upright for the back support, and all that remains are the tacks and a remnant of leather.  The wood has some finish losses, some bumps, and minor losses.  The metal collar above the base and the adjusting knobs have  some  surface rust and paint losses.   

All measurements given are approximate.  The seat measures 15  5/8" wide and 15" deep. The seat will lower to 16  3/4" high or raise to 21" high.  The back support is 12  3/4" wide and 11  1/2" tall.  The back support height at its highest adjustment is 17  1/2" from the seat to the top, and at its lowest setting it is 13" from the seat to the top.  The 4 star base measures 22  1/4" across .  The measurement from front of the chair to the back is 18  1/2". 

This unique chair will make a great addition to your collection.
