This chair is really quite exceptional, it dates to the early Victorian era circa 1840-1860, its made with a solid hand carved mahogany frame and tufted with cattle hide leather throughout

The chair has a sticker to the base which reads THE HIBERNIAN CLUB NO 9 STEPHENS GREEN DUBLIN 2 which is where I purchased the chair from. It needed full restoration, the seat base slid in and out and had been lost, the rest of the leather had faded right back. My upholsterer has made a new base which has been constructed using traditional Victorian upholstery methods, we used premium Italian cattle hide leather which has upholstered plain, the whole piece the hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed waxed down and polished, it is in sublime condition throughout

The Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club

Your Home in the City Since 1840 The Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club is Ireland’s premier Private Members’ Club, situated in the heart of Dublin’s city centre in a beautiful, 18th-century building on Stephen’s Green. The Club evolved out of the earlier Union Club closely associated with 19th-century political reformer Daniel O’Connell. It first opened its doors in 1840 as the Stephen’s Green Club. In 2004, it merged with the Hibernian Services Club in No. 8 – resulting in its current name, and an even more expansive membership base.
