This eighteenth-century style armchair dates from 1890 and is constructed from walnut and caramel-coloured leather with brass studding. The tall, extravagantly shaped backrest leads down to scroll-ended arms and a seat upholstered in hand-dyed leather secured with individual brass nails. The frame sits upon turned and carved legs with Braganza feet, joined by a shaped and moulded stretcher. It measures 104 cm high, 76 cm wide and 70 cm deep, with a seat height of 42 cm. In a modern interior, this piece serves as a statement seat in a study, library or drawing room. The rich warm brown timber and supple leather finish complement both traditional and transitional domestic schemes. The robust walnut structure and durable upholstery ensure it functions effectively for everyday seating while maintaining its period-inspired aesthetic.

FAQs

An 18th-century style leather armchair typically features a high backrest, brass studding, scroll-shaped armrests, and an ornate timber frame, often inspired by Queen Anne or Early Georgian design.

Seating from this era traditionally utilised solid hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany for the structural frame and stretchers, upholstered with hand-tanned leather secured by brass close-nailing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, natural irregularities in timber cut by hand, genuine age-related patination, and individually driven brass studs rather than modern uniform nail strips.

A traditional leather armchair functions well as a focal point in a study or living room, paired with a contemporary floor lamp, a simple side table, or neutral soft furnishings to create balance.

Preserve leather armchairs by keeping them clear of direct sunlight and radiators to prevent cracking. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a specialist leather conditioner periodically.
