FAQs

The French wingback style, often evolving from traditional bergeres, is characterised by protective upholstered side panels designed to shield the sitter from draughts, combined with exposed carved wooden frames and elegant proportions.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery, horsehair or wool stuffing, and hand-tacked upholstery secured with natural fibres.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks, natural patina on the painted or gilded surfaces, traditional joinery methods like mortise and tenon, and age-appropriate wear to the internal stuffing materials.

Pairing a historic upholstered chair with modern minimalist architecture or clean-lined contemporary sofas creates a striking focal point, grounding the space with texture and heritage character.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the textile and drying of the timber. Vacuum the velvet gently with a soft brush attachment and dust the painted frame with a dry cloth.
