This pair of 1920s wing armchairs adopts the traditional gentleman's library style. Both chairs have a high winged backrest, padded scroll arms, and a deep seat upholstered in a multicoloured tapestry fabric featuring a gold and blue script pattern. The exposed framework shows walnut cabriole front legs carved with a shell motif to the knee, terminating in carved feet. Each armchair measures 112 cm high, 86 cm wide, and 71 cm deep, providing generous seating proportions. These armchairs suit a living room, study, or reading corner as statement seating. They offer functional comfort alongside classic period character for traditional or eclectic home interiors.

FAQs

Wingback armchairs originated in late seventeenth-century England, designed specifically to capture heat from a fireplace and shield the sitter from cold draughts. By the 1920s, the form evolved into a comfortable lounge chair combining traditional proportions with decorative upholstery.

Chairs from this era generally feature solid hardwood internal frames, such as beech or oak, with hand-tied coil springs and natural stuffing like horsehair or fibre. The exposed legs are frequently carved from walnut or mahogany and paired with woven jacquard or tapestry upholstery fabrics.

Authentic 1920s pieces feature traditional joinery, heavy timber frames, hand-carved front legsoften in Queen Anne cabriole or claw-and-ball stylesand traditional sprung seat construction. Looking beneath the seat frame often reveals hand-tacked webbing and original timber aging.

Flank a grand fireplace or position them opposite a clean-lined sofa to create a balanced conversational seating area. The rich tones and pattern can be grounded using neutral rugs, contemporary side tables, or minimalist floor lamps to blend period character with contemporary design.

Vacuum fabric upholstery regularly using a low-suction soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation within the weave. Keep the chairs away from direct sunlight to avoid fabric fading, and polish the wooden legs periodically using a natural beeswax polish.
