{"title":"Antique Desk Chairs \u0026 Office Chairs","description":"\u003cp\u003eAntique desk chairs are among the few seating forms designed with real utility in mind. Upright, often solidly framed and built for long periods of reading or clerical work, they serve a distinct function, and that purpose shows in the proportions, materials and detailing. This category includes 19th and early 20th century pieces originally used in studies, libraries and offices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost are elbow chairs, designed to pair with desks or writing tables, with models that range from the architectural to the generously upholstered. You'll often find bow back chairs, the occasional Gainsborough chair and some later early 20th century swivel examples. We also include some pieces which were not originally designed for desk use but function especially well in that role. What unites them all is quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re setting up a home office or refining a traditional study, these are the pieces that do their job while elevating the room around them. Hard-wearing, functional chairs designed to be sat in and used. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"early-20th-century-singer-cast-iron-elm-industrial-chair-c-1930","title":"Early 20th Century Singer Cast Iron \u0026 Elm Industrial Chair c.1930","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early 20th century industrial Singer machinist’s chair with a solid, finely contoured elm seat below an adjustable thick ply backrest, all raised on a tapering heavy cast iron pedestal base marked “SINGER” to each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seat swivels to raise or lower height, and locks firmly in position via the wing screw, making it a practical occasional chair with real presence and strong industrial character.
