A beautifully designed & crafted 1950s/60s fully restored armchair. We haven't been able to find the maker of this one but we believe it to be British, possibly Gimson & Slater.
– Superb fully restored condition
The chair has a fantastic reclining mechanism offering eight settings of tilt! This is set by using the knob which sits underneath the chair which can be easily reached whilst sitting.
A stunning chair featuring solid teak armrests and legs with a timeless charcoal grey upholstery, nice upholstery details such as the piped side and seat cushion, buttoned back and removable headrest.
In superb restored condition, the arms and base have been cleaned and re-polished. New webbing have been added with all foam replaced and covered with a gorgeous & versatile charcoal woolen tweed fabric making it fully compliant to current fire regulations.
Dimensions:
Width: 73cm (across the arms)
Width of seat cushion: 53cm
Total depth: 90cm
Depth of seat: 47cm
Total height: 97cm
Height to seat: 37cm
A rare opportunity to own an iconic armchair. Would bring a touch of classic mid century style to any interior space.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
