Wooden Swivel Office Chair - N, HO, S and O Scales

Add a classic period office detail to your scene with this Vintage Wooden Swivel Office Chair. The chair features a contoured wooden seat, curved arms, spindle-style back, central swivel post, and four-legged rolling base with casters.

Its traditional design works especially well in early 20th-century offices, police stations, railroad offices, banks, factories, government buildings, newsrooms, and professional workplaces. The open-back construction and visible mechanical base also provide plenty of detail for painting, staining, dry brushing, and subtle weathering.

History

Swivel office chairs were already well established by the late 19th century and continued to evolve as offices became increasingly common during the early 20th century. Unlike today's padded task chairs, many period office chairs were constructed primarily from hardwood, with shaped seats, spindle or slat backs, curved arms, and metal swivel mechanisms.
