FAQs

First developed in 17th-century England, the wingback armchair was designed to retain heat from a fireplace and shield the sitter from cold draughts. By the 18th century, these chairs evolved with refined proportions, plush upholstery, and decorative timber bases.

Early wingback chairs were typically constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as walnut, oak, or mahogany, joined using traditional mortise and tenon joints. Cushioning was crafted using natural materials including horsehair, wool, and burlap, topped with woven tapestry or damask upholstery.

Authentic 18th-century wingback armchairs feature hand-carved hardwood legs, traditional hand-stitched webbing, and irregular tool marks beneath the frame. The presence of original H-stretchers connecting square or cabriole legs, along with period-appropriate timber patination, also indicates genuine age.

An antique wingback armchair serves as a focal piece when placed alongside a minimalist side table and a modern floor lamp. Pairing patterned tapestry upholstery with neutral wool throws or muted wall tones creates a balanced dialogue between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Vacuum tapestry fabrics gently using a soft brush attachment and protect them from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Dust wooden legs regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly once a year to nourish the timber and maintain its patination.
