This pair of nineteenth-century armchairs follows the Baroque Revival style in the William and Mary manner. The chairs are constructed from gilded wood with red leather upholstery, associated red leather cushions, and brass studding. Notable details include high wingback designs, intricate carved aprons, and scroll legs with turned supports. Individual inspection reveals scrolled armrests with padded tops, brass nailhead trim along the seat rails, and visible distressing to the gilt finish on the wooden frames. Each armchair measures 125 cm high by 82 cm wide by 82 cm deep. These commanding seating pieces suit placement in a gentleman's library, a formal study, or a spacious drawing room as statement reading chairs.

FAQs

High-backed wing chairs originated to protect sitters from drafts, evolving in the 19th century to incorporate elaborate carved wooden frames, gilded decoration, and upholstery in rich leather.

These chairs typically feature carved hardwood frames, often decorated with gilding or paint, upholstered in genuine leather with brass studding details and horsehair or down cushion stuffing.

Authentic pieces show signs of hand-carving on the wooden apron and stretchers, natural patination to the leather finish, aged brass nailhead trim, and period joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints.

Placing a pair opposite a modern sofa or flanking a fireplace creates a balanced focal point, pairing traditional carved gilded details with clean contemporary architectural lines.

Dust the wooden frame gently with a dry, soft cloth while avoiding liquid cleaners, and treat the leather periodically with a specialized conditioner to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
