Antique Leather Wing Back Sofa

1920 - 1940
Description

A superb antique leather wing back sofa. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1930’s.

The quality is superb and this is extremely comfortable to relax in. It is very supportive and has down filled cushions. The brown leather has a gorgeous colour tone and patina, the sofa sits on solid mahogany cabriole legs with acanthus leaf carving at the knees.

We have had the leather revived and polished by our leather restorer, the legs have also been re-polished. This is in excellent condition for its age, with only some very minor wear here and there.

We also have the matching pair of armchairs that came with this, seen listed under our other items for sale.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in 17th-century England, the wingback design was constructed with high back panels and protruding side wings to trap heat from open fireplaces and block cold draughts. Over subsequent centuries, particularly during the Georgian and Victorian eras, these seating pieces incorporated deep button-tufting and decorative wooden legs to become staple items of formal reception rooms.

Traditional construction relies on solid hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, secured with mortise and tenon joinery. High-grade full-grain leather upholstery is applied over hand-tied coil springs, finished with deep button-tufting and individual brass studding along the arm profiles and front rails.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved leg detailing, natural colour variations and patination across the leather, and hand-tacked brass studs rather than uniform modern stud strips. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-stitched webbing, solid timber framing, and age-consistent wear to the timber footings.

A dark leather wingback sofa functions as a focal anchor when placed alongside clean-lined modern furniture or crisp neutral wall paint. Layering with muted wool throws, metallic lighting, or contemporary artwork creates an intentional contrast between historic structure and modern minimalism.

Leather upholstery requires regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic treatment using a specialist leather conditioner to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking. Keep the item situated away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent UV fading and drying out of the natural hides.
