19th Century Wing Back Arm Chair

19th century
Description

A generously scaled wingback armchair with a solid walnut frame and shapely cabriole legs. The classic silhouette, complete with rolled arms and winged sides—offers timeless appeal. Upholstered in a faded beige damask with floral motifs, the chair shows wear consistent with age, notably to the arms where the fabric is frayed and padding exposed. Structurally sound and ripe for reupholster, this is an ideal candidate for bespoke restoration or creative reinvention.

Seat height = 49cm

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

Wingback armchairs were developed in 17th-century England to capture heat from open fireplaces and shield the sitter from cold draughts in unheated rooms. The signature wings extend from the high backrest to the armrests, creating an enclosed microclimate that remained popular throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.

19th-century wingback chairs feature solid timber internal frames, typically made from beech, oak, or pine, paired with carved hardwood front legs such as walnut or mahogany. Traditional upholstery used natural materials including horsehair padding, burlap webbing, hand-tied iron coil springs, and woven fabric covers like damask or velvet.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved timber legs with characteristic details like cabriole curves or pad feet, heavy solid construction, and natural wear patterns on exposed woodwork. Examining the underside often reveals hand-tacked webbing, original iron coil spring tiedowns, and historic stuffing materials rather than modern synthetic foam.

A classic wingback armchair works as a focal point in a contemporary reading corner, bedroom alcove, or modern living space. Balance its traditional silhouette by pairing it with streamlined floor lamps, a minimalist side table, or contrasting geometric soft furnishings.

Keep the armchair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading. Clean textile upholstery by gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, handle delicate aged fabrics with care, and treat exposed timber legs with natural beeswax polish.
