FAQs

A wingback armchair is characterised by a high backrest flanked by side panels or wings, designed historically to protect the sitter from drafts and retain heat from an open fireplace.

Traditional construction incorporates solid hardwood internal frames, steel coil springs, natural fillings such as horsehair or coconut fibre, and upholstery fabrics like damask, velvet, or leather.

Authentic pieces feature mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved leg detailing such as cabriole curves or pad feet, solid timber frame construction, and traditional webbing beneath the upholstery.

Place the chair beside a reading lamp or fireplace, balancing structured patterned fabric with clean-lined contemporary tables and neutral room finishes.

Vacuum fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and address spills immediately with specialised textile cleaners.
