Description |
One children's highchair on wheels. Highchair is made of wood, stained a medium brown Chestnut colour, and the backrest is carved with an acanthus design. It has a tray attached to the left armrest with a hinge which allows it to swivel on multiple axes, and it can be locked into place on the right armrest. The seat is made of leather, rivetted onto the wood. The chair has 4 wavy-shaped, interlocking legs, each terminating at a small metal wheel. There is a tall handle attached the back two legs, and a system of metal strapping and pivots which allow the legs to flare out front and back, lowering the seat and extending the handle, thus transforming the chair into a stroller. |
