Early 20th Century Arts & Crafts Oak Reclining Armchair, C.1900–1920

1900 - 1920
Description

A handsome early 20th-century Arts & Crafts reclining armchair, dating to circa 1900–1920.

Constructed in oak with a rich, warm patina, the chair features beautifully shaped sweeping arms with broad rounded terminals, slatted sides and back, and a traditional adjustable reclining mechanism allowing the backrest to be set at several different angles. Recently recovered in a neutral linen, with loose seat and back cushions that provide a fresh, understated contrast to the warm oak frame. Raised on square supports with rounded front feet, this is a particularly attractive and comfortable example, combining the strong architectural lines and practical craftsmanship associated with the Arts & Crafts movement.

Condition: Good antique condition with wear, marks and variations to the finish consistent with age and use. The frame is solid and the reclining mechanism is present and functional. Recently reupholstered. Seat Height 41 cm

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.
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.
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.

Arts and Crafts seating emphasises honest construction, visible joinery, and functional design, emerging in the late 19th century as a response against industrial mass production in favour of hand-finished timber like oak.

These armchairs were predominantly crafted using solid timber frames such as oak, featuring mortise and tenon joinery alongside wool, linen, or leather drop-in cushions.

Authentic period examples display solid oak construction, traditional mortise joinery, natural timber grain, and mechanical adjustment features such as side slatted supports or pegged backrests.

Combine the architectural timber frame with neutral fabric upholstery alongside clean-lined contemporary side tables or floor lamps to balance historical character with modern minimalist decor.

Maintain the timber frame by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, while gently vacuuming the upholstered cushions with a soft brush attachment.
