Wingback armchairs originated in the 17th century, primarily designed to protect sitters from drafts in unheated rooms and to trap heat from a fireplace.

Authentic period chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, hand-stitched upholstery webbing, and natural leather or woven textiles.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, tool marks on the wood, the type of joinery, and the natural wear patterns consistent with age and handcrafting techniques.

Pairing a traditional leather armchair with minimalist surroundings or modern lighting creates a balanced contrast that highlights the pieces heritage craftsmanship.

Maintain antique leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically treat it with appropriate conservation-grade leather balms to prevent drying and cracking.
