FAQs

Wingback armchairs, originating in the late 17th century, were designed with side wings to protect sitters from draughts and trap heat from open fireplaces. By the late 19th century, Victorian cabinetmakers integrated deep buttoned leather upholstery and sturdy hardwood frames to create substantial library and fireside seating.

These armchairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as oak or mahogany, coupled with hand-tied coil springs, horsehair padding, and hand-dyed hide upholstery fastened with individual brass studs.

Authentic period pieces feature natural patination and wear to the leather hide, individual hand-tacked brass studding, carved timber front legs with hand-shaped jointing, and traditional webbed or coiled spring seat construction.

Position the armchair in a quiet corner or alongside a fireplace paired with a contemporary floor lamp and a minimalist side table to establish a balanced contrast between heritage texture and clean modern lines.

Position the leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking or fading. Apply a dedicated leather balm periodically to maintain suppleness and wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth.
