Description

An outstanding antique leather barrel back wing armchair. This was made in England, it dates from the early twentieth century, around the 1920’s.

It is of superb quality, this is of lovely proportions and is extremely comfortable. The design is beautiful, with a wonderful curved barrel shaped back, the deep buttoned leather frame stand on tapered mahogany legs.

The colour of the leather is absolutely beautiful, we have had the leather revived by our leather restorer, the legs have also been re-polished. The condition is excellent for its age, with just some minor surface wear here and there, commensurate for age.

FAQs

Wingback armchairs originated in the 17th century to protect sitters from drafts in heated rooms, with the upholstered wings designed to trap heat around the head and neck area.

Authentic pieces typically feature a solid hardwood frame, traditional coil springs tied by hand, horsehair or wool stuffing, and high-quality bovine leather secured with individual brass tacks.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the joinery methods, hand-stitched detailing, patination of the leather, wear patterns consistent with age, and the type of webbing and stuffing used internally.

Pairing this classic seating with minimalist modern architecture, sleek metal accents, or contemporary neutral textiles creates a balanced eclectic contrast that grounds the room.

Leather should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusted regularly with a dry cloth, and treated periodically with specialized micro-crystalline wax or natural leather conditioners to prevent cracking.
