FAQs

Wingback chairs originated in the 17th century and gained prominence in the 18th century, primarily designed to protect sitters from drafts and heat from fireplaces.

These chairs typically featured solid hardwood frames such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, traditionally stuffed with natural materials like horsehair, wool, and feathers before being covered in canvas and textile.

Authenticity is determined through hand-cut joinery, timber ageing characteristics, traditional stuffing methods, and structural wear patterns consistent with the period.

Unfinished or stripped frames work well as statement focal points in rustic, industrial, or maximalist spaces, celebrating the raw craftsmanship of historic joinery.

Preserve the frame by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and treating exposed wood periodically with microcrystalline wax to prevent drying.
