A wing armchair made in the 1920s in the Georgian style stands ready for daily relaxation. The piece consists of a wooden frame covered in blue damask fabric with a patterned textile finish, alongside a loose white cushion, a deep buttoned backrest, and carved wooden cabriole front legs ending in claw and ball feet. Visible signs of age include worn fabric around the arms and edges, showing historical use. The measurements are 100 cm high, 85 cm wide, and 70 cm deep. This seating option suits a living room, study, or traditional bedroom corner. An occupant uses the chair for reading or resting by placing it near a bookshelf or a fireplace, providing comfortable support through its high winged backrest and padded seat.

FAQs

A wingback armchair, originally developed in the seventeenth century, features high side panels or wings designed to protect the sitter from cold draughts and retain heat from a nearby fireplace.

Traditional wingback chairs feature solid timber internal frames, often constructed from beech or oak, combined with steel springs, natural fillings such as horsehair, and woven damask or velvet upholstery.

Authentic antique wing chairs often display hand-carved solid wood legs, hand-tacked burlap webbing, traditional horsehair stuffing, and natural patination on exposed timber surfaces.

Position a wingback chair alongside a contemporary side table and sleek floor lamp to create a reading nook, or mix it with modern soft furnishings to balance its formal silhouette.

Vacuum fabric upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and treat exposed timber legs with a suitable furniture wax.
