It features an adjustable spring loaded headrest. SIZE: 16 1/4″h to top of headrest and 9″w at widest point. CONDITION: The leather upholstery appears to be all original and in place except for on the headrest. The porcelain is in near excellent condition with three small repaired chips on the base.
