What is the most common type of leather chair?

The single leather-upholstered armchair. `Armchair` runs through 751 titles and `armchairs` through a further 389, framed most often in mahogany or oak. Wing and club are the two qualifiers that attach to it most often. Beyond that, desk and office chairs and dining chairs each account for roughly a fifth of listings.

How old are leather chairs on Sellingantiques?

Dealer-entered dates span 1750 to 1960. Of 2,743 listings, 1,745 carry a clean year rather than an era label. Where a year is given, the early twentieth century carries the weight: the 1920s is the largest single decade, then the 1930s and the 1910s, with the 1880s and 1890s just behind. Georgian and eighteenth-century chairs appear, but they are a small minority.

Are leather dining chairs sold in large sets?

Yes. Fours and sixes are the usual sizes, and `chairs` in the plural appears in 624 titles. Sets get considerably larger than that. Alongside the sixes and eights, the archive has carried sets of ten, twelve, fourteen and one of fifteen.

Which colours of leather turn up most?

Green leads, named in 151 titles, with red in 117 and brown in 70. Morocco red and oxblood recur on library and wing chairs. Colour is named often enough in titles to work as a search term in its own right.

Do French or Swedish leather chairs appear?

Both do. `French` appears in 178 titles, largely club armchairs, and `swedish` in 75. The Swedish group is mostly pairs of deep-buttoned or satin-birch Art Deco armchairs, and several of them sit near the top of the range. Sweden is the recurring foreign origin after France.

What unusual leather chairs have come up?

Porter's hall chairs, throne chairs and reading chairs each appear only a handful of times across the whole archive. Rarer still are the one-offs: a folding steamer deck chair, a machinist's high stool, a metamorphic child's high chair, a gaming high chair, cinema seats, an Anglo-Indian plantation chair and a pair of wrought iron Riviera chairs.
