Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Dense lines of old tack holes: repeated re-covering over several centuries.
Shaped cabriole back legs: typical of high-quality early 18th-century seat furniture.
Moulded knees on the front legs: early 18th-century Queen Anne form.
Dark oxidised colour on the unpolished rear framing: long natural ageing of the timber.

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.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment.

This early eighteenth-century walnut Queen Anne wing armchair displays a generous silhouette and requires complete restoration and re-upholstery. The exposed wooden frame includes cabriole front legs terminating in pad feet, shaped scroll arms, and an upright winged backrest covered in worn, tattered hessian fabric that exposes the internal stuffing. The rich warm brown timber shows visible grain and natural ageing, contrasting with the coarse texture of the degraded fabric panels. Measuring 121.92 cm high, 90.17 cm wide, and 83.82 cm deep, the piece offers a substantial footprint for a traditional living room, library, or reading study. Once fully restored and upholstered to personal taste, it provides a classic seating option positioned by a fireside, in a corner reading nook, or as a statement accent chair within an English country house interior scheme.

FAQs

Queen Anne seating from the early 18th century is characterised by subtle curves, cabriole legs, pad feet, and high backrests incorporating winged sides originally designed to retain hearth warmth.

Frames were typically constructed from solid walnut or beech, featuring hand-carved cabriole legs and traditional upholstery fillings such as horsehair, hessian, and jute webbing.

Genuine period pieces exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, subtle asymmetry in hand-carved elements, original webbing or tack marks beneath later upholstery layers, and timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the armchair as a focal point in a study or living area, pairing its historical silhouette with contemporary neutral upholstery fabrics or contrasting minimalist accent lighting.

Clean the walnut legs with a dry cloth and apply natural beeswax periodically to protect the timber, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources or excessive humidity.
