Description

An exceptional pair of antique William IV mahogany and leather library armchairs. They were made in England, they date from around the 1830-1850 period.

They are of outstanding quality with generous proportions, they are also extremely comfortable. The solid mahogany frames are beautifully crafted with lovely carving on the scrolled arms and front legs. They sit on porcelain casters and have a gorgeous overall patina.

We have had them fully re-upholstered in a hand coloured russet leather to give this gorgeous colour tone, the mahogany has also been polished to a very high standard. The condition is superb throughout.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

The William IV style, spanning the 1830s, acts as a transitional bridge between Regency elegance and early Victorian mass production, characterised by robust proportions, scrolling foliage, and classical revival motifs.

These pieces typically feature dense tropical hardwoods such as solid mahogany framing, traditional horsehair stuffing, iron or brass coil springs, and hand-dyed bovine leather secured with individual brass tacks.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, hand-turned and carved wooden elements showing natural patination, subtle tool marks on secondary woods, and hand-forged or early cast-brass hardware.

Pairing dark timber and worn leather with minimalist modern architecture, neutral textured rugs, and streamlined lighting creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain leather using micro-crystalline wax or specialised leather feeds to prevent cracking, keep the wood out of direct sunlight to protect the polish, and control indoor humidity levels to preserve the timber and structural frame.
