Originating in the 18th century, the barrel back wingchair features an enclosed curved back and protective wings designed to shield the sitter from draughts in unheated rooms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or oak, traditionally joined with mortise and tenon techniques, and stuffed with natural fibres like horsehair.

Authentication involves examining the timber ageing, hand-cut joinery, traditional webbing, and tool marks on the frame, which differ significantly from modern machine-made manufacturing.

Such seating serves as a strong focal point in a living space or library, and can be paired with contemporary lighting and neutral textiles to create a balanced aesthetic.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, using specialist leather or wood balms, and employing professional conservation cleaning for delicate fabrics.
