Superb Regency Mahogany & Leather Reclining Armchair

19th century
For Sale by LTANTIQUES.CO.UK
Description

A superb rich mahogany reclining armchair, in superb condition, circa 1800.

The chair features professionally upholstered, hand-dyed leather in a warm, deep brown tone, giving it exceptional character.

The seat, back, and leg rest are all deeply buttoned for comfort, complemented by padded, buttoned armrests.

Its smooth reclining mechanism allows the chair to tilt back to an almost fully reclined position, while discreet casters add practicality.

The mahogany frame is beautifully shaped and elegantly carved.

A striking and highly desirable piece of Regency furniture—beautifully made, wonderfully comfortable, and even more impressive in person.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1800s:
Turned mahogany roundels at the pivot points: typical Regency mechanical chair design.
Incised line reeding along the outer frame: decorative detail favoured in the 1820s and 1830s.
Brass ratchet mechanism beneath the padded arms: engineered hardware from the patent armchair era.
Swept sabre legs on small brass castors: characteristic stance of late Regency seating.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This Regency armchair originates from around 1800 and is constructed from rich mahogany combined with hand-dyed leather in a warm, deep brown tone. The design incorporates deep button tufting across the tall back, seat, and extending leg rest, alongside padded armrests lined with stud trim. The timber framework displays elegant shaping, carved roundels on the side supports, and curved legs terminating in small brass castors. Brass studding follows the edge of the leatherwork around the frame and armrests. Measuring 120 cm high, 64 cm wide, and 117 cm deep when upright, this piece functions as a reclining chair with an adjustable footrest mechanism. The seating arrangement provides comfort suited for a gentleman's library or study space within a home, offering an adaptable lounging position alongside traditional period aesthetics.

FAQs

Regency reclining armchairs, produced during the early nineteenth century in Britain, incorporate adjustable backrests and extended footrests to offer ergonomic comfort alongside refined neoclassical design elements.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid mahogany for the framework, high-grade brass for internal ratchets and castors, and deep button-tufted leather upholstery stuffed with horsehair.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved mahogany framing, heavy brass reclining mechanisms concealed beneath the seat, brass castors, and traditional pegged joinery.

A traditional leather reclining chair serves as a functional focal point when paired with modern architectural lighting, contemporary artwork, and neutral interior backdrops in a study or sitting room.

Leather upholstery requires regular dusting and periodic conditioning with a specialist leather balm, while the polished mahogany framework should be cleaned with a dry microfiber cloth and waxed sparingly with natural beeswax.
