Pair of 19th Century Gothic Revival Oak & Buttoned Leather Armchairs Attr A.w.n. Pugin

19th century
Description

A pair of mid 19th-century Oak Library armchairs in the manner of A.W.N. Pugin. Made in solid English Oak with wonderful original colour and patina , Gothic Revival throne-armchairs in solid oak . Each chair is distinguished by a tall, arched back, upholstered in deep-buttoned soft leather, secured with decorative brass studs and generously proportioned with the seats designed for comfort.

 

The frames are carved with architectural Gothic motifs, while the arm supports terminating in bold scrolled volutes. The oak shows a superb colour and grain, enhanced by a mellow aged surface acquired over more than a century of care and use.

 

These unique armchairs would have been a commission order for a grand interior and they remain striking statement pieces, equally suited to a traditional home or a modern interior looking to make a statement.

 

Dimensions: width 64cm, height 129cm, depth 73cm

 

Seat: width 47cm, height 47cm, depth 43cm.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, Gothic Revival furniture incorporates medieval architectural elements such as pointed arches, tracery, carved oak motifs, and sturdy proportions inspired by ecclesiastical design.

High-end 19th-century seating typically featured solid native hardwoods like oak or mahogany, joined with traditional mortise and tenon carpentry, and upholstered in deep-buttoned leather or rich velvet secured with brass studs.

Look for crisp hand-carved geometric or architectural motifs, genuine wood patination, hand-hammered upholstery nails, and original deep-buttoning executed with natural horsehair padding.

Balance the heavy visual weight and dark tones of Gothic Revival seating by pairing them with muted neutral walls, contemporary minimalist lighting, and soft natural textiles.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish to the oak timber annually, nourish the leather periodically with a specialist wax balsam, and keep the pieces away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
