FAQs

Wingback chairs emerged in the 17th century primarily to shield sitters from drafts in unheated rooms and to trap heat from fireplaces.

Authentic period frames are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, traditionally stuffed with natural fibres and horsehair before being upholstered.

Authentication involves inspecting the frame joinery for hand-cut joints, examining the ageing of internal webbing and stuffing materials, and checking for hand-forged fixings or early castors.

Pairing a traditional upholstered seat with minimalist or modern surroundings creates a striking focal point, balancing classic proportions with clean architectural lines.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation, and regularly vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove abrasive dust particles.
