Standing on square legs and sledge type feet that are connected by a H stretcher. The seat is traditionally rushed and is superb, intact condition. This is a special original antique oak armchair by Heals around 1910. In excellent, strong condition and is a very good colour.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE EDWARDIAN ERA:
Sledge feet and lattice back: design introduced by Heal and Son around 1905.
Softened edges on the armrests: natural smoothing from decades of use.
Traditional rush seat: woven directly over the oak frame in the rural manner.
Darkening around the lower joints: wax polish collecting over a century.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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.
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.
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.

Arts and Crafts fireside chairs feature low seat heights, solid timber frames, exposed mortise and tenon joinery, and natural woven rush seats, reflecting early 20th-century craftsmanship principles.

These armchairs are constructed from solid oak timber with woven natural rush fibers for the drop-in or envelope seat pad.

Authentic Heals pieces frequently display simple geometric proportions, high-quality oak joinery, sledge base runners, and occasionally an inset ivory or makers disc under the seat frame.

Place the armchair alongside a hearth, near a reading lamp, or within a living space to complement natural wool textiles, neutral walls, and organic timber accents.

Clean the oak frame with beeswax polish, avoiding abrasive liquids, and gently vacuum or dust the woven rush seat while keeping it away from excessive heat sources to prevent drying.
