Description

An outstanding antique Victorian leather barrel back wing armchair. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1840-1860 period.

It is of superb quality and is a great size, large and comfortable but not too imposing. The barrel shaped back is fluted with scrolled arms and a feather filled cushion. It stands on beautifully turned solid walnut legs with solid brass casters.

We have had the frame fully re-upholstered in russet leather which has been hand coloured to give this gorgeous colour tone and patina. The legs have also been stripped and re-polished, the condition is excellent throughout.

Width – 34 inches , 86 cm

Depth – 29 inches , 74 cm

Height – 48 inches , 122 cm

FAQs

Barrel back armchairs feature a semicircular upholstered backrest that curves seamlessly into the arms, a design that gained significant popularity during the Victorian era for its draught-excluding qualities near fireplaces.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a sturdy hardwood frame made from beech or mahogany, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and premium full-grain leather upholstery secured with traditional tacks.

Authentication involves examining the hand-stitched seams, the type of leather patination, traditional joinery methods within the frame, and the presence of hand-forged or cast brass hardware.

Pairing the rich texture of aged leather with contemporary minimalist elements, neutral walls, or contrasting textiles creates a balanced, sophisticated focal point in a living space or study.

Maintain antique leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and periodically applying specialized leather leather balm to prevent drying and cracking.
