It can't be denied that this 'chaise en cuire' has had a tough, Gallic life but, fortunately, it has found itself over the channel and in the hands of an Englishman, keen to restore it to previous glory !

French chairs from the 1920s and 30s were often patched and bodged beyond their expected lifespan and/or parked in a barn for 30 years, but can be re-set for another 100 years of hard use once stripped back to the frame, like-for-like springs replaced, and fully reupholstered in a suitable leather.

March '22 - SOLD (see additional image showing the superb renovation !)
