Adjustable chairs and loungers only began to be produced for everyday use from the mid-19th century. This adjustable chair by American designer George Wilson, patented in 1870, is a leisure piece of furniture, proof that its owner could indulge in the joys of relaxation. The backrest, leg rest, and footrest are separately adjustable, allowing for various uses, from an upright chair to a deck chair, and even to a lying position. The "Adjustable Chair, " with its plethora of gears, notches, and steel levers, perfectly illustrates the beginnings of the 19th-century industrial era. The chair, which has a considerable weight, is mounted on four casters, making it easy to move. The structure is in excellent condition. The chair is stamped with a brass plate riveted to the top of the backrest. The cushions, which are worn out, need to be replaced. Cushions, like floor cushions, would work very well. The width of the seat is 58 cm, and the total width is 65 cm. When fully unfolded, its total length is 192 cm, including the footrest positioned horizontally. Made by Wilson's Adjustable Iron Chair Co. It is worth noting that a similar example is on display at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany. I can deliver to Paris and its surrounding area.
