Know before you buy
The chair measures 27 1/4 inches wide, 25 inches deep, and stands 44 1/4 inches high. It features a seat depth of 21 inches and a seat height of 21 inches.
The chair is upholstered in Portland-LE0175 leather, which is a high-quality, durable material. While it is designed for longevity, it should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or fading over time.
The Ad Victoriam chair weighs 33.07 pounds. Its mahogany and brass construction provides a sturdy, substantial feel while remaining manageable to reposition within a room.
No, the Ad Victoriam is delivered fully assembled. It is a handcrafted piece, so you can expect it to arrive ready for immediate placement in your home.
Dust the mahogany frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish. For the brass elements, use a gentle, non-abrasive metal cleaner sparingly to prevent tarnishing, ensuring you avoid getting any cleaning solution on the leather upholstery.
While the chair is designed with a focus on historical aesthetics and statement design, the 21-inch seat depth and height offer a standard, upright seating posture. It is best suited as an accent piece for reading or conversation rather than for extended lounging.
