What periods do these armchairs come from?

The listings include examples originating from the eighteenth century, the Georgian period, and the Victorian era. Later twentieth-century revival pieces also appear alongside these earlier designs. Craftsmen across these periods utilised traditional hardwoods and upholstery styles that reflect the aesthetic preferences of their respective times.

Which woods were used for the frames?

Makers constructed the frames primarily from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, oak, and rosewood. These timbers provided the structural strength required for carved legs and arms. Selected pieces also incorporate brass elements to complement the woodwork and enhance the visual appearance of the chair.

What types of upholstery are common?

Upholstery materials span leather, velvet, traditional fabric, and textiles, often paired with feather fillings. Many chairs retain period upholstery or have been recovered in calico and other suitable materials. Selection depends on the specific style, ranging from buttoned leather wing chairs to low nursing seats.

How do wing armchairs function?

Wing armchairs provide enclosed seating designed to retain heat and deflect cold air currents near an open fireplace. The characteristic side panels protect the head and shoulders of the person seated. These chairs combine deep upholstery with sturdy frames to create a comfortable resting place by the hearth.
