Description

An English open armchair dating from the early to mid-19th century, attributed to Miles and Edwards.

The tall shaped back has rounded shoulders above long padded open arms. The ring-turned front legs, swept rear legs and matching turned arm supports are decorated with faux rosewood graining—a painted finish imitating the colour and figure of rosewood. The chair is raised on castors.

Sturdy frame, with traditional upholstery in good condition. Offered for recovering in your choice of fabric. Some wear and rubbing to the grained finish. Fresh lining fabric has been added to the seat and arms, ready for the final covering of your choice.

FAQs

Regency armchairs from the early nineteenth century are recognised by their classical proportions, turned legs, upholstered backs, and refined wooden frames. Makers often used techniques such as decorative painting or faux rosewood graining to mimic exotic timber.

Furniture makers of this era typically crafted frames from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, frequently applying faux finishes or mahogany veneers. Upholstery traditionally relied on horsehair padding, webbing, and brass brassware like wheel castors.

Authentic pieces usually display period-correct joinery, original brass castors with stamped makers marks, traditional hand-tacked upholstery foundations, and evidence of hand-executed wood turning or faux graining technique.

An antique open armchair can serve as an elegant accent piece in a quiet reading corner, bedroom alcove, or modern living room. Pairing classical turned timber and subtle striped upholstery with contemporary neutral backdrops highlights its historical silhouette.

Faux painted finishes should be kept clean by gently dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excess water, and position the chair away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber movement and paint deterioration.
