This Victorian English winged armchair dates from the 19th century and measures 89 cm high, 70 cm wide and 72 cm deep. Constructed from hardwood, hessian, jute webbing and brass, the piece presents an un-upholstered aesthetic with an exposed wooden frame, green burlap webbing, natural hessian lining, shaped arms and a small wing. The seat is sprung and includes a white feather cushion, while the front supports consist of turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. Visible signs of age and restoration appear through the raw fabric layers, frayed edges, exposed structural tacks and unfinished timber surfaces across the arms and backrest. Such a chair suits placement in a sitting room, study or bedroom, where it provides functional seating as a reading chair or accent piece. The exposed internal construction offers a raw, industrial character appropriate for traditional English country house interiors or eclectic modern spaces. Buyers seeking a bespoke project can utilise the existing frame for custom upholstery, complementing the current weathered timber and exposed webbing structure with a new fabric covering to match their interior scheme.

FAQs

First appearing in late seventeenth-century England, the wing chair was designed to trap heat from open hearths and shield occupants from cold draughts within traditional country homes.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature solid hardwood framessuch as beech, oak, or mahoganyjoined with mortise and tenon wood joinery, heavy coil springs, jute webbing, and natural horsehair stuffing.

Look for hand-carved turned legs, original ceramic or brass castors, square-cut timber internal framing, and evidence of hand-stitched hessian lining beneath modern fabric layers.

Displaying the raw frame creates a striking industrial or rustic focal point, while professional re-upholstery in textured linen or velvet seamlessly integrates the classic silhouette into contemporary schemes.

Keep timber frames away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, treat visible wood with natural beeswax polish, and inspect brass castors regularly to ensure smooth movement.
