Antique Campaign Armchair in Iron (c. 1890 Eng)

Zoom Exit

Iron and leather

This campaign chair is very versatile with the seat and back able to adjust to six different positions including almost flat so that with the foot rest on you can sleep. As the back is inclined so the seat depth is increased. The foot rest is easily fitted or removed as are the arms which are also adjustable by means of a bolt fitting. Although the chair is made to collapse flat for travel the design is such that the length is relatively long. This is the sacrifice for making the operation of the chair so easy. The buttoned leather has been replaced but was done long enough ago for it to have developed character. This is an interesting chair with the iron construction giving a modern, sharp feeling but the good upholstery offering comfort. Late 19th Century. Size without foot rest is given.
