This Victorian wing armchair dates to around 1910 and follows traditional English Country House styling. It is upholstered in deep burgundy velvet with corded piping details along the seams and rolled armrests, complemented by turned mahogany front legs with wooden castors. The piece shows signs of age with worn patches on the velvet and variations in colour tone across the fabric panels. Measuring 83 cm high, 83 cm wide, and 83 cm deep with a seating height of 40 cm, the armchair suits a living room, study, or bedroom setting for reading or relaxing. Suitable for period homes and traditional interior schemes, the chair provides practical seating when positioned beside a fireplace, in a corner, or paired with a reading lamp. The high winged backrest offers side support, while the deep seat and substantial arms create a comfortable lounge piece for daily use. Regular maintenance keeps the velvet upholstery clean and preserves the character of the turned wooden legs.

FAQs

A wing armchair, or wingback chair, is characterised by high side panels extending from the backrest down to the armrests, originally designed in the seventeenth century to shield occupants from cold draughts and retain heat from a nearby fireplace.

Historically, these chairs feature solid hardwood frames, such as oak, beech, or mahogany, constructed with mortise and tenon joinery, traditional steel coil springs, natural hair or fibre filling, and upholstery fabrics like wool, velvet, or leather.

Authentic period pieces typically display hand-turned timber legs, hand-stitched upholstery edge-trim, traditional coil spring webbing beneath the seat, and natural wear patterns on the frame legs consistent with age.

Place the chair beside a fireplace, window, or low bookshelf to create a dedicated reading corner, pairing the rich upholstery texture with contemporary lighting or minimalist side tables for balanced contrast.

Gently vacuum the velvet fabric using a soft brush attachment along the grain of the pile, brush regularly with a dedicated clothes brush to prevent matting, and address liquid spills immediately with a dry cloth without rubbing.
