What periods do these armchairs span?

The selection includes pieces from the eighteenth century through the Edwardian era and mid-twentieth century. Victorian and nineteenth-century examples appear frequently alongside earlier Georgian and French designs.

How do I identify a wing armchair?

Wing armchairs feature characteristic fabric side panels attached to the armrests. These extensions originally kept sitters warm near open fires. Versions range from eighteenth-century examples to late Victorian interpretations with substantial wooden frames.

What wood types are used?

Frames employ hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and beech. Timber is also common across various nineteenth-century forms. Selected chairs showcase intricate carving on these exposed wooden elements.

Several listings offer matching pairs of armchairs, particularly in French styles and bergere forms. These matching sets provide symmetrical seating options. Single fireside chairs and wing backs also feature prominently in the selection.
