Description

An amazing and very rare pair of antique wing back armchairs by Hille. They were made by Ray & Solomon Hille in England, and date from around the 1920’s.

The quality is fantastic, with very generous proportions, they are also extremely comfortable. The shapely frames with humpbacks, sit on finely carved solid walnut legs.

We have recently had these fully re-upholstered in a beautiful charcoal wool fabric that contrasts nicely with the light wood legs that have just been cleaned and re-polished. The condition is excellent throughout, with only some minor wear and patina remaining to the wood under the polish.

Width – 35 inches , 89 cm

Depth – 36 inches , 92 cm

Height – 46 inches , 117 cm

Seat height – 18 inches , 46 cm

FAQs

Wing back armchairs originated in the seventeenth century, primarily designed to protect sitters from drafts in heated rooms and to trap body heat from a fireplace.

Traditional construction typically involves a solid hardwood frame, such as oak or beech, traditional coil spring upholstery, horsehair stuffing, and heavy fabric coverings.

Authentic pieces can be identified through hand-carved wooden elements, traditional joinery methods, period-appropriate textiles, and makers marks or stamps on the frame.

Pairing traditional seating with contemporary lighting and minimalist tables creates a balanced interior, allowing historical pieces to serve as a focal point.

Preserve the fabric by keeping the chairs out of direct sunlight, vacuuming regularly with a soft brush attachment, and employing professional upholstery cleaning services when necessary.
