Pair of Antique Leather Wing Back Armchairs

1900 - 1920
Description

A magnificent pair of antique leather wing back armchairs. They were made in England, and they date from around the 1920’s.

They are of very impressive, large proportions, the quality is absolutely amazing and they are extremely comfortable.

They sit on beautifully turned and stretchered solid walnut bases, with well shaped scrolled out arms, scrolled back wings and hump back head rests.

We have had them revived and hand coloured to a gorgeous brown tone, the legs have also been re-polished. The seat cushions are plump and feather filled, these chairs are extremely comfortable and are in great condition throughout.

The chairs are stamped with an H on the inside of the back legs.

This pair of antique leather wing back armchairs dates from the 1920 period in a Georgian style. Constructed from warm brown leather, solid walnut wood, and brass, they display winged backrests, hump back head rests, scroll arms, and brass studding along the trim. The bases consist of turned wooden legs connected by wooden stretchers, while the leather surfaces show a hand-coloured finish. The visible details include padded feather-filled seat cushions, stamp marks on the inside of the back legs, and substantial proportions standing at 119 cm high, 104 cm wide, and 86 cm deep. Suitable for a gentleman's library or a study, these armchairs provide comfortable fireside seating. They integrate naturally into traditional living spaces as reading chairs, offering a classic seating arrangement for a drawing room or executive study. Each armchair provides ample back support and deep seating space, designed for daily domestic use while maintaining a formal period aesthetic.

FAQs

The wingback armchair originated in late 17th-century England, featuring side panels designed to trap heat from open hearths and protect sitters from cold draughts.

Traditional wingback construction utilises a solid hardwood timber frame, horsehair or wool padding, natural grain leather or heavy woven fabric upholstery, and brass tack fittings.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-tacked brass studding, irregular natural wear patterns in the leather patina, traditional corner-blocked joinery, and carved or turned wood legs.

Positioning a pair of leather wingback chairs opposite a contemporary sofa or flanking a fireplace creates balance, introducing rich material contrast against clean architectural lines.

Keep leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying. Clean regularly with a soft cloth and apply a specialized leather conditioner to maintain flexibility.
