This pair of Georgian Revival Gainsborough armchairs stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century design influenced by the eighteenth century. Each chair features a mahogany frame with square section legs and an H-frame stretcher, supporting padded open armrests and a high back with a serpentine crest rail. The frames are upholstered in olive green leather hide, accented with studded leather trim along the borders. Signs of age appear as gentle surface wear on the dark green leather and natural grain variations in the timber. Measuring 117 cm high, 61 cm wide and 81 cm deep with a seat height of 46 cm, these armchairs provide comfortable and practical seating. Suitable for daily use, these chairs find a natural home in a gentleman's library, study, drawing room or home office. Their traditional aesthetic pairs well with a partner desk, writing table or leather-topped partner's desk. The generous proportions and supportive armrests offer an inviting seat for reading, working at a desk, or relaxing by the fireplace. Positioned together in a seating arrangement or used individually in separate rooms, they bring a formal and distinguished character to interior spaces.

FAQs

A Gainsborough chair, also known as a French chair, is characterised by a wide seat, a tall upholstered back, and open padded armrests supported by a solid timber frame.

Traditional construction incorporates solid mahogany for the exposed frame alongside full-grain leather or woven damask upholstery secured with brass studding.

Authentic Revival pieces feature traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved mahogany accents, and natural age patina on the leather and timber surfaces.

Leather upholstery requires periodic conditioning with specialist balm, while mahogany frames should be dusted with a dry microfibre cloth and kept away from direct heat sources.

These chairs are commonly placed in pairs opposite a sofa, integrated into a study alongside a dark wood desk, or positioned as accent seating in a reading room.
