FAQs

Wingback armchairs were originally designed in 17th-century England, featuring high backs and winged sides intended to trap warmth from open fireplaces and shield occupants from draughts.

Traditional wing chairs feature solid hardwood frames such as oak or beech, webbed seating with coiled steel springs, natural fillings, and heavy woven textiles like velvet or damask.

Georgian style wing chairs typically display hand-carved cabriole or square legs, period-correct joinery, heavy timber weight, and structured proportions along the wings and scrolled arms.

Positioning a pair of wingback armchairs symmetrically facing a focal point, such as a fireplace or coffee table, creates balance and introduces historic structure alongside contemporary furnishings.

Vacuum velvet upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment, brush the pile in the direction of the weave, and clean the timber legs using a dry microfibre cloth and specialised wood wax.
