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.

FAQs

Originating in 17th-century England, the wingback armchair was designed to trap warmth from a fireplace and shield occupants from cold draughts. By the late 19th century, the silhouette evolved into comfortable, fully upholstered forms featuring decorative cabriole legs and contoured wings.

Traditional 19th-century wing chairs were constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, joined with mortise and tenon joints. The interior padding typically featured hand-tied coil springs, horsehair filling, and natural fibres, finished with carved mahogany or walnut legs.

Look for signs of period construction, such as hand-carved solid wooden legs with natural wear, hand-tacked upholstery foundations beneath modern covers, and traditional wood-joining techniques inside the frame. The overall proportions often feature higher seat profiles and distinct hand-formed scroll arms.

Pairing a traditional wingback chair reupholstered in neutral linen or textured wool with minimalist architectural lighting creates a refined balance of eras. Placing the chair in a quiet corner or alongside a modern side table highlights its distinctive silhouette without overwhelming the space.

Vacuum fabric upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up within natural fibres. Period timber legs should be polished occasionally with natural beeswax, keeping the chair away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage or fabric fading.
