Description

An amazing and very rare pair of antique wing back armchairs by Hille. They were made by Ray & Solomon Hille in England, and date from around the 1920’s.

The quality is fantastic, with very generous proportions, they are also extremely comfortable. The shapely frames with humpbacks, sit on finely carved solid walnut legs.

We have recently had these fully re-upholstered in a beautiful charcoal wool fabric that contrasts nicely with the light wood legs that have just been cleaned and re-polished. The condition is excellent throughout, with only some minor wear and patina remaining to the wood under the polish.

Width – 35 inches , 89 cm

Depth – 36 inches , 92 cm

Height – 46 inches , 117 cm

Seat height – 18 inches , 46 cm

FAQs

The wingback chair originated in England during the seventeenth century, specifically designed to protect sitters from drafts and retain heat from a fireplace.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a solid hardwood frame, traditional coil spring upholstery, horsehair or wool stuffing, and hand-carved wooden legs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the framing joinery, hand-forged or early screws, wear patterns on the wooden feet, and the aging of internal stuffing materials.

Pairing traditional upholstered seating with contemporary minimalist furniture or placing them opposite a modern sofa creates a balanced, eclectic living space.

Preserve the fabric by avoiding direct sunlight, using professional upholstery cleaning methods, and periodically conditioning any exposed wooden components.
