George V Tortoiseshell Leather Wing Chair

1920 - 1940
Description

George V tortoiseshell leather wing chair

This Tortoiseshell leather wing chair was made circa 1930.

The chair maker used a classic design of the Georgian period.

I particularly like the shaped back rail and the way the top corners are stepped.

The leather has the wonderful tortoiseshell effect leather finish, giving it a most different and attractive look.

The wing chair with the hundreds of brass headed nails that secure the leather to the wooden frame.

It stands on Chippendale design square front legs that are joined by an H shaped stretcher.

The stuffed seat is lovely and firm and so giving you wonderful support while after a hard day’s toil you can sit back and relax.

Imagine the compliments on your choice and your family and friends vying who can sit in it first!!

This George V period armchair dates from 1930 and follows a classic Georgian design. The piece features a high winged backrest with a shaped back rail and stepped top corners, scrolled armrests, and square front legs joined by an H-shaped stretcher. The frame is upholstered in mottled chestnut brown leather with a tortoiseshell effect finish, secured along the edges by hundreds of individual brass-headed nails. The stuffed seat is firm, and the whole chair measures 117 cm high, 83 cm wide, and 74 cm deep. Suitable for use in a gentleman's library, study, or living room, the armchair provides a comfortable and supportive seat for reading or relaxing. It accommodates daily use while offering traditional decorative detailing through its brass studding and dark wooden frame structure. The traditional aesthetic integrates easily into period or contemporary interior schemes requiring a classic seating option.

A George V wing chair is an upholstered armchair produced during the reign of King George V (19101936), characterised by a high backrest, side wings designed to trap fireplace heat, and leather or textile upholstery.

These chairs were constructed using solid hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, fitted with steel coil springs, natural hair stuffing, and hand-patinated hide secured with brass studding.

Authentic pieces feature period construction techniques including hand-tied springs, individual brass nailhead trim, hand-dyed leather displaying natural surface patination, and solid timber legs showing historical wear.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist side table and modern floor lamp to create a dedicated reading corner, or pair it with contemporary textiles to balance traditional proportions with modern design.

Keep the leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, dust regularly with a dry soft cloth, and apply a specialised leather conditioner periodically to preserve flexibility.
