Description

Originally designed as a library armchair or for a gentleman's study, this fine chair has been fully restored by us and upholstered to an under finish, ready for the client's choice of outer fabric. This is a chair with very strong lines and it is also strong in the practical sense.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying periodic microcrystalline wax, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on both the timber and upholstery.

It functions effectively as an accent piece in a study or living room, pairing well with minimalist modern furnishings to highlight its historic craftsmanship and warm wood tones.

Authenticity is determined by examining the wood patina, hand-turned tool marks on the spindles, traditional joinery methods, and the presence of period-appropriate brass castors or fixings.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring precision lathe-turned spindles, mortise and tenon joints, and traditional stuffing materials beneath the upholstery.

Spindle-turned furniture gained popularity during the Victorian era, drawing inspiration from earlier seventeenth-century bobbin and Windsor traditions, and was utilised extensively in parlours and libraries.
