This rare and beautifully presented example is the Independence model and carved from oak with decorative detailing.
The fully reclinable chair and the patented hydraulic system allows the chair to be raised and lowered and the ability to swivel at 360 degrees.
The joints to the arms, headrest, footrest and lever are all cast and finished in beautiful polished nickel. The decorative footrest bears the company insignia and also the Independence model branding.
The chair is upholstered in the original supple black leather which carries no rips or tears and is fully studded to the perimeter. The arm, back, foot and head rest carry the same leather and detailing.
The four oak legs are finished with brass feet with grip ridges to each.
The back of the seat carries the studded brass makers plaque for the Louis Hanson Company.
This late Victorian barbers chair is in museum quality condition and Pointers Antiques have included extensive images for this piece and we invite for them to be studded carefully.
United States of America, circa 1890.
