{"product_id":"1820s-leather-wingback-chair","title":"19th C. English Georgian Leather Wingback Chair","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDeep button-tufting across the back and seat, wide wings, straight tapered legs joined by a turned stretcher. The frame is English Georgian, dating to the early 1820s, though the leather is later, reupholstered around the 1940s in a tobacco brown that's worn soft and cracked at the arms. A club-height library chair, built for regular use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe wingback form developed in England in the early 18th century, the projecting side panels originally meant to shield a seated occupant from drafts and the heat of an open fire, a practical function that outlasted its original purpose and became a defining silhouette of English domestic furniture. By the Georgian period, wingback chairs had settled into their now-familiar library and study role, upholstered rather than caned, and built low and deep enough for long reading. Reupholstering a frame this age in leather decades after its construction, as happened here in the 1940s, was standard practice rather than a compromise. Frames were expected to outlast several rounds of covering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: English Georgian\u003cbr\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Techniques: Carved wood frame, tobacco leather upholstery, deep button tufting, nailhead trim\u003cbr\u003ePlace of Origin: England\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Frame c. 1820; leather reupholstered c. 1940s\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FOUND GBS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54177626456374,"sku":null,"price":4850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5844\/2806\/files\/WW-26-FoundGBS-July3-01.jpg?v=1783114214","url":"https:\/\/shopwentworth.com\/products\/1820s-leather-wingback-chair","provider":"Shopwentworth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
