Condition Details: This exquisite desk chair has recently undergone a partial restoration featuring new upholstery. The solid teak construction is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection showing only light nicks and surface scratches which can be seen in the detail photos provided. With that said the wood is in overall very good shape and the teak woodgrains are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light. The upholstery, redone in a fabulous vintage red tweed, is in showroom condition and perfectly offsets the warm woodgrains of the solid teak frame.

This visually striking chair is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos for details on this desk chair's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
