FAQs

The wingback chair emerged in the late 17th and early 18th centuries during the Georgian era, primarily designed to protect sitters from drafts in poorly heated homes and to trap heat from open fires.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hardwood frame constructed from timber such as oak, beech, or mahogany, traditionally joined with mortise and tenon joints, and stuffed with natural fibres like horsehair and wool.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-cut joinery, timber ageing, tool marks on the frame, and the presence of traditional stuffing materials beneath modern upholstery layers.

This seating piece integrates well into both traditional and contemporary spaces, often positioned beside a fireplace or used as a reading chair paired with a minimalist side table to create contrast.

To preserve antique upholstered furniture, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, maintain stable indoor humidity levels, and clean the upholstery using specialist textile conservation methods.
