This 18th century Georgian wing chair exhibits a high back with protective winged side panels, scroll-curved armrests, and a sprung seat upholstered in textured green fabric with visible wear and pile shading. The frame stands on straight dark brown mahogany legs reinforced with stretchers and terminated with small brass castors. Measuring 110 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 81 cm deep, this armchair brings traditional seating to a living room, study, or library interior. Placed by a fireside, reading desk, or in a corner seating arrangement, it provides comfortable upright support for daily use in a period or country house setting.

FAQs

Originating in the late 17th century and perfected during the Georgian era, the wing chair features high side panels designed to shield the sitter from cold draughts and capture warmth from a fireplace.

These chairs were constructed using solid hardwood internal frames, typically oak or beech, featuring exposed legs carved from mahogany or walnut, and traditional horsehair or wool upholstery stuffing.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-joined timber frames with mortise and tenon construction, subtle variations in hand-carved mahogany legs, and genuine patination on the lower stretchers.

A period wing chair functions effectively as a focal point in a contemporary study or living space, creating contrast when paired with modern floor lamps and neutral surroundings.

Mahogany legs require regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and occasional applications of beeswax polish, while velvet upholstery should be lightly vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
