A George III Large Wing Backed Armchair, Circa 1780

18th century
Description

This handsome and larger scale George III wing backed armchair has recently been finely reupholstered in deep buttoned dark tan leather which has been hand finished to give a well patinated look. The leather is finished on the edges with a brass individually nailed boarder. The chair stands on square moulded mahogany legs connected with stretchers and raised onto brass casters. The frame is in good, solid condition and the chair has a good seat height and is very comfortable to sit in and will give many years of good service before ever needing to be reupholstered again.

English circa 1780

Height 118cm x width 86cm x depth 80cm

Date of Manufacture

Robert Belcher Antiques has dated this George III Leather Wingback Armchair to the 18th Century.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Pegged mortise-and-tenon joints visible on the stretchers: typical eighteenth-century cabinet making.
H-pattern stretcher configuration connecting the legs: standard design for chairs of this era.
Small brass wheel castors on the feet: appropriate early pattern fittings.

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.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

A George III large wing backed armchair, dating from circa 1780, is constructed from mahogany and upholstered in chestnut brown leather. The piece exhibits deep button tufting on the backrest, seat, and arms, alongside individual brass stud detailing outlining the edges of the leather. The wooden frame comprises square legs with an H-stretcher base, supported by brass castors. Visible details include rolled wings, scrolled arms, and a well patinated hand-finished surface. Measuring 118 cm high, 86 cm wide, and 80 cm deep, the armchair offers comfortable seating with a solid structural condition. Suitable for placement in a traditional study, a gentleman's library, or a formal living room, this armchair functions as a reading seat or a fireside chair. The substantial scale and classic silhouette integrate effectively into period interiors or eclectic home environments. Daily use benefits from the sturdy mahogany stretchers and the durable leather upholstery, which requires minimal maintenance while providing enduring support.

FAQs

Originating in the late 18th century during the reign of King George III, these armchairs feature high upholstered backs, pronounced side wings, scrolled arms, and solid hardwood frames, often raised on square legs with structural stretchers.

Frames were typically constructed from solid mahogany, oak, or beech, using mortise and tenon joinery. Upholstery involved natural materials such as horsehair padding, jute webbing, coil springs, leather, or heavy woven fabrics secured with brass studs.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-carved hardwood framing, H-pattern leg stretchers, period-correct brass castors, hand-tacked brass studding, and natural age patination across the leather surface.

A classic leather wing chair works well as a focal accent in a contemporary study, reading nook, or sitting room, providing structural contrast alongside minimalist architecture or modern minimalist furniture.

Keep the leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking. Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a specialized leather conditioner periodically to retain flexibility and patination.
