Description
Antique wooden swivel office desk chair made in the 1910s probably, by Globe Wernicke (there's a label on the back). Most likely beech wood, as there are some bentwood sections: the arms and slats on the seat back. Four leg tripod below with cast iron swivel assembly, with a rotating ring to adjust the height. Upholstered seat pad, probably a later replacement for original leather.

condition
Condition is pretty good structurally: it's solid enough. Some movement in the assembly but it's ok. Mechanism works fine. One leg has had a new piece of wood spliced in to one edge (see pics). The fabric of the seat pad is loose along a 6-7cm stretch at the front. Shouldn't be too hard to sort, or leave it as it is until eventually reupholstering. Various marks, scuffs and lighter, worn areas to the wood. Would benefit from a clean up with meths, sugar soap or just wax but I think it's fine as it is, with a bit of honest usage.
