Antique Wing Armchair

1900 - 1920
Description

A good Georgian style wingback armchair dating from the early 20th Century. It has traditional raised shaped wing sides and it stands on carved cabriole legs with ball and claw feet. It is a very comfortable chair with good large proportions and a feather filled cushion.

The chair is upholstered in a good quality and stylish chevron patterned fabric in rich reds and purples that compliments the chair well.

The chair is in good condition and is strong and sturdy. There are a few general marks and small knocks around the legs but nothing detrimental. The upholstery is not new and there are light signs of wear and use and some slight fading but nothing untoward. It looks clean and fresh and is perfectly usable as it is or will serve as a good solid frame for recovering.

The chair stands approximately 48" (122cm) high, 34" (86cm) deep and arm to arm the chair is 31" (79cm) wide.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Nationwide delivery available through our network of reliable couriers. Please get in touch for an accurate quote to your location.

Carved cabriole front legs with ball-and-claw feet: early twentieth-century Georgian revival style.
Outswept square-section back legs: construction typical of seating from this period.
Scuffs and finish wear across the lower legs: decades of domestic use.
High shaped wings and scrolled arm rests: enduring early Georgian form.

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.

This Georgian style wingback armchair dates from the 1920 period. The wooden frame is constructed from mahogany with a polished finish and features carved cabriole front legs ending in ball and claw feet, raised shaped wing sides, and high armrests. The piece is upholstered in a flame stitch or chevron patterned fabric in shades of red, burgundy, and purple, complemented by a feather filled seat cushion. General marks and small knocks appear on the legs, accompanied by light signs of wear, use, and slight fading on the fabric. The dimensions are 122 cm high, 79 cm wide, and 86 cm deep. Position this armchair in a living room, study, or library as a comfortable fireside seat or reading chair. It integrates well into traditional country house interiors or eclectic domestic spaces, providing a sturdy seating option that functions either in its current upholstery or as a solid frame for future recovering.

FAQs

Originating in seventeenth-century England, the wingback chair features protruding side panels designed to protect sitters from cold draughts and trap heat from open hearths.

Authentic period wing chairs typically feature solid timber frames such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, combined with hand-carved legs, horsehair padding, and heavy woven upholstery fabrics.

Examine the timber joinery, carving details, and seat frame construction; period examples feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural wear on wooden feet, and traditional webbing.

Position a wing chair beside a modern floor lamp and small side table to create a focused reading nook, or pair it alongside contemporary sofa designs to add visual texture.

Keep the armchair away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, vacuum the woven upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment, and condition the carved wood legs with natural beeswax.
