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

Originating in 17th-century England, the wingback chair was designed to capture heat from fireplace fires and protect sitters from cold drafts. By the Victorian period, the silhouette evolved to include deep button-tufting, rolled arms, and plush upholstery.

Authentic period armchairs were built around hand-carved hardwood timber frames, typically oak or mahogany. Internal cushioning relied on coiled steel springs, natural horsehair padding, hessian webbing, and calico lining.

Examine the underside frame for original hand-tacked webbing, square or turned timber legs with brass castors, and evidence of hand-stitched padding. authentic 19th-century examples display slight hand-crafted variations rather than modern machine uniformity.

A deconstructed wingback in calico serves as a neutral sculptural accent that pairs well with contemporary minimalist or industrial settings. Alternatively, reupholstering the piece in velvet or wool allows it to anchor a traditional library or living room nook.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric decay. Vacuum calico and woven fabrics gently using a soft brush attachment, and condition exposed woodwork with natural beeswax.
