FAQs

Wingback armchairs originated in seventeenth-century Britain, initially designed to shield seated occupants from draughts and trap heat from open fires.

Authentic period frames are constructed from hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, traditionally stuffed with horsehair, wool, and straw before being upholstered in heavy woven fabrics or leather.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the frame construction techniques, hand-carved joinery, traditional webbing, and the type of wear and ageing present on the wood and textiles.

They work effectively as statement reading chairs in a study or as contrasting focal points in a contemporary living space, paired with neutral walls to highlight the patterned upholstery.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, professional dry cleaning for delicate textiles, and keeping the chairs away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
