Wood-framed Tufted Reclining Armchair with Fold-out Footrest — Solid Spindles, Worn Upholstery

Lot: single wood-framed reclining armchair with tufted padded back and fold-out metal footrest mechanism. The chair’s turned spindle arm supports and rocker runners are intact and present a solid, vintage-look profile; upholstery is a brown/tan textured fabric shown heavily soiled in places and with frayed edges. The metal footrest is shown partially extended and the mechanism operates but is noted to have play and needs attention.

This is a practical project piece for someone restoring a classic lounge chair, or for use in a cottage, study or theatrical/prop setting where character and solid joinery matter more than fresh upholstery. Suits DIY upcyclers, re-upholsterers or a business that needs a working recliner for staging — the wooden arms and turned spindles clean up well with sanding or polish.
