A wingback chair was first introduced in England during the 1600s, and the basic design has remained unchanged since. It is a chair with “wings” attached to the back of the chair, typically, but not always, stretching down to the arm rest. The purpose of the “wings” was to shield the occupant of the chair from drafts, and to trap the heat from a fireplace in the area where the person would be sitting. Such a piece of furniture seems to be a perfect one for fall and winter, doesn’t it? Just imagine sitting by the fire in such a chair and enjoying the warmth, perfection!

Traditional Wingback Chairs

A traditional wingback chair can be with two standard wing styles – the flat wing and the scroll wing. It’s usually very refined, with wood or leather covered legs and chic upholstery. It can be of any color and upholstery type – neutral, bold or dark, of leather, velvet or any other fabric that would match your space. Such a chair is a nice idea for a statement in the interior – rocking just one or two vintage items in a modern room is a very hot decor trend to add a refined touch. Try!
