A beautifully crafted Australian mid-century reclining armchair dating to the 1970s. Featuring a solid timber frame with elegant sculpted armrests, this chair combines timeless Scandinavian-inspired design with exceptional comfort.
The chair operates using a classic push-back reclining mechanism—simply lean back and the backrest reclines smoothly without the need for a lever, returning to the upright position as you sit forward. It has been professionally reupholstered by previous owner in a quality textured blue commercial-grade fabric, giving it a fresh, contemporary look while retaining its original mid-century character.
The timber frame presents well with only minor signs of age and use consistent with its vintage, adding to its authentic charm.
Although this chair is almost certainly Australian-made, there are no maker’s marks, labels, stamps or identifying stickers remaining. It has also been professionally reupholstered at some point in its life, which often results in original paper labels or tags being removed during restoration. Based on the construction, reclining mechanism and overall design, it is believed to be by an Australian manufacturer from the era; however, without any surviving identification, it is not possible to accurately attribute it to a specific maker.
A stylish and comfortable statement piece that would suit a mid-century, Scandinavian or contemporary interior.
Measurements: 870mm tall x 640mm deep x 615mm wide
