Description

Fantastically decorative Victorian leather wing armchair, or library armchair with those beautiful swept arms and on four original brass castors.

Very comfortable chair, certainly could be used as a desk chair, or a living room everyday armchair.

The leather is generally in good condition. The is some cracking to the roll of the arms and at some time in its life, there has been a puncture wound to the rear which has been restored. The seat is good and has also had a good repair to an old wound.

The leather has been very well fed and waxed to bring it back to life and show off this lovely colour and character.

Finished with original brass studs running throughout the frame.

Great chair for use, but also would be a fantastic decor piece to be admired too!

Wingback chairs originated in the 17th century to protect sitters from drafts in heated rooms, with the wings designed to trap heat from a fireplace and shield the face from excessive warmth.

Authentic period armchairs typically feature a solid hardwood frame, such as mahogany, oak, or beech, upholstered in hand-dyed natural leather and secured with traditional brass tacking.

Authentication involves examining the joinery for period-appropriate construction, checking the patina and wear patterns on the leather, and inspecting the internal stuffing materials like horsehair and coil springs.

This seating piece pairs effectively with contemporary minimalist elements, functioning as a focal point in a study or living room when balanced with neutral textures and modern lighting.

Preserve antique leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically applying specialized leather conditioners to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
