19th Century Mahogany Leather Library Chair

19th century
Description

A Superb Quality Mid 19th Century William IV Period Mahogany Library Armchair Of Bold Proportions Having Swept And Scrolling Arms With Superbly Carved X Framed Supports, Over Large Bucket Seat Raised On Extremely Elegant Sabre Legs With Original Brass Castors.

This exceptional quality 19th Century William IV period mahoghany library chair is of a relatively unusual form which exudes elegance, class and sophistication.

Whilst boasting all of the above in terms of form it is also worth noting that the chair boasts great function, comfort and practicality.

The chair has clearly been constructed in one of the top workshops of the time which can be evidenced by the overall quality of construction, the rich mahogany timbers which have been used and the depth of the carved decoration.

Perfect for a whole variety of spaces around both the home and office this chair would really stand out, whilst at the same time offering a more than comfortable place to sit for whatever period of time is desired.

Overall the condition is excellent with a few very minor old repairs and restorations which are to be expected on a functional piece of furniture of this age and overall the description can certainly be described as good. As with all items which we offer for sale the chair has been attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers, where it has simply been cleaned and naturally wax polished in the traditional fashion.

It is also worth noting that the leather covering is also relatively recent, therefore remains in excellent condition.

Circa 1840.

Height 41.5in.

Width 24.5in.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A 19th-century library chair is characterised by a high backrest, padded armrests, durable leather upholstery, and a dense solid mahogany frame designed for comfort during extended periods of reading.

These chairs traditionally feature solid mahogany or oak timber frames, natural hide leather, brass castors, and internal support made from steel coil springs and natural hair padding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, original brass or ceramic castors, hand-stitched leather seams, and timber showing deep natural patination along high-touch surfaces like the armrests.

Position the chair in a home office beside a minimalist desk, or place it in a living area paired with a contemporary floor lamp and modern textiles to create contrast.

Leather upholstery requires regular treatment with a natural leather conditioner to prevent cracking, while mahogany timber should be dusted with a soft cloth and polished periodically with beeswax.
