18th Century Oak-framed Wing Armchair in Antiqued Leather, Circa 1760

18th century
Description

A mid-18th century oak-framed wing armchair, circa 1760, upholstered in beautifully antiqued brown hide with a rich, warm patina.

The chair features a tall, gently shaped back with generously proportioned wings, shaped arms and a deep, loose seat cushion. The leather upholstery is finished with traditional brass studwork, complementing the character of the chair.

Raised on an oak frame with square front legs united by stretchers and distinctive, boldly raked rear legs, an interesting feature of its period construction, providing additional stability to the tall upholstered back.

The antiqued hide has a wonderfully mellow appearance, with natural variations in colour and texture that enhance the chair's traditional character.

A generously proportioned and inviting country house armchair, combining comfort with the understated elegance of 18th-century English furniture.

Wingback armchairs originated in late 17th-century England, featuring side wings designed to shelter the sitter from cold draughts and retain heat from open hearth fireplaces.

Seating from this era was constructed using solid timber frames, frequently oak or mahogany, stuffed with natural materials such as horsehair, and finished with leather or woven wool upholstery.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-worked joinery, pegged mortise and tenon joints, H-stretcher underframes, square-cut legs, and age-consistent wear to the timber frame and leather.

A traditional leather armchair functions as a focal point when positioned alongside minimalist modern tables, contemporary lighting, or paired with textured natural textiles to create visual contrast.

Leather upholstery requires regular dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and periodic treatment with a specialist leather balm, while keeping the piece situated away from direct heat sources to prevent drying.
