oak captain's chair/desk chair

Circa 1890, generous sized oak and leather Captain’s chair/desk chair. The horseshoe shaped chair has a raised back with a roll over top and deep buttons. From this come the 2 shaped arms covered in leather and held in place by turned uprights, which are fixed to the seat with rectangular sections. At the back of the chair there is a small shaped splat with open fretwork. The removable squab cushion again has deep buttoning and beneath this there is a further thin leather cushion which sits in the seat. The seat is scooped out of the solid oak and has wonderful colour and patination. At the back there are 4 rectangular shaped legs which are chamfered on the inside with a small curl at the end. The front legs are turned and tapering. Uniting the legs is a turned cross over H stretcher with a larger bulbous section where the cross stretcher joins. The chair is sturdy, good size, and excellent colour.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
