Antique Victorian Leather Chesterfield Armchair

19th century
Description

A large and very impressive antique Victorian leather Chesterfield armchair. This was made in England, we would date it to around the 1880’s period.

The quality is outstanding, this is extremely well made and comfortable. The deep buttoned leather has a gorgeous green colour tone and an absolutely beautiful patina. This is filled with horse hair and sits on mahogany bun feet with brass casters beneath.

We have had this revived and enhanced by our leather restorer, there is one very small repair to the back edge, barely noticeable at all. Overall this is in superb condition for its age.

This large Victorian Chesterfield armchair dates from the 1880 period and originates from England. It is upholstered in deep olive green leather with a noticeable patina and one small repair to the back edge. The deep button tufting covers the interior backrest, while the front rail features a similar buttoned pattern. Pleated scrolled arms include brass stud detailing along the borders, enclosing a seat cushion. The frame rests on turned mahogany bun feet fitted with brass castors. The armchair measures 73 cm high, 114 cm wide, and 86 cm deep, with a seat height of 43 cm. Appropriate for a gentleman's library, a study, or a traditional living room, this seating piece provides a comfortable reading chair. It integrates well with classic interior schemes alongside wooden side tables and bookshelves. The substantial proportions suit a spacious domestic setting where the dark green leather tone complements neutral or rich colour palettes.

FAQs

Traditional construction involved solid timber framesoften beech or oakfitted with hand-tied coil springs and webbed support. Upholstery fillers included natural materials such as horsehair and coconut fibre, finished with full-grain dyed leather hide.

Authentic period armchairs feature solid hardwood frames joined with mortise and tenon joints, hand-hammered individual brass studs rather than continuous strip studding, and natural age-related patination on the leather surface.

A dark leather Chesterfield armchair functions well as a focal point when placed alongside modern minimalist side tables or crisp linen upholstery. Pairing the rich, textured leather with architectural lighting creates a balanced contrast between traditional and contemporary elements.

Maintain leather upholstery by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a specialist leather balsam annually to retain flexibility. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, cracking, and colour fading.

The Victorian Chesterfield armchair is defined by its deep buttoned leather upholstery, rolled arms, and substantial frame. Historically designed with arms and back at a uniform height, these chairs feature hand-tacked brass studding and turned wooden legs fitted with castors.
