FAQs

Originating in 17th-century England, wingback chairs were designed to protect occupants from cold drafts and retain heat from nearby open fireplaces.

Mid-19th-century wing chairs traditionally feature solid hardwood frames such as walnut or mahogany, carved cabriole legs, coil-sprung seats, and natural fillings under woven upholstery fabric.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved timber detailing, traditional construction joinery beneath the upholstery, natural wood patina, and period-correct leg silhouettes such as cabriole legs with carved knees.

Position the chair beside a reading lamp or near a fireplace to create a dedicated seating area that contrasts classic carved timber against modern neutral backdrops.

Clean timber surfaces using a microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain, while regularly vacuuming the upholstery with a soft brush attachment.
