Antique Oak Rolling Desk Chair with Cane Back — Consignment
This chair has been somewhere. You can tell by the way it sits.
A solid oak rolling desk chair with a full woven cane back panel, cabriole-style legs, and original brass casters. The seat is smooth-planed oak with rounded corners and a gentle contour — the kind of seat that was built to be sat in for hours. The cane back is intact and tight. The casters roll. The frame is solid. This is a working antique, not a display piece.
