This set of four Edwardian library armchairs dates from the early 20th century. Each chair is upholstered in dark brown leather with deep button tufting across the backrests and inner arms, complemented by brass studding along the front edges. The timber frames stand on tapered front legs fitted with brass castors. The upholstery is good, as is the springing. Measuring 99 cm high, 74 cm wide, and 74 cm deep, these armchairs provide comfortable seating suitable for a traditional study, a gentleman's library, or a spacious drawing room. They can be arranged together as a matching set or split into pairs to suit different seating layouts in a home.

FAQs

Emerging in late 19th and early 20th century private clubs and reading rooms, these armchairs feature deep buttoning, low seat profiles, and durable leather upholstery designed for comfort and extended seating.

Authentic examples typically feature solid timber frames, hand-tied coil springs, brass studding details, and full-grain leather fixed with deep button tufting.

Look for natural patina and age-related wear on the leather, brass castors on the front legs, hand-tacked studding, and solid hardwood frame construction underneath the upholstery.

Pair deep-toned leather armchairs with clean-lined contemporary side tables, light linen textiles, and minimal modern art to contrast rich historical texture against modern architecture.

Keep leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a specialised leather conditioner annually to maintain flexibility.
