Cecconi Wing Backed Chairs
A wingback chair or wing chair as it is commonly known is usually a fully upholstered chair with large ‘wings’ mounted to the armrests which join the back at a 90-degree or wider angle; this surrounds the head and torso areas of the body. Such chairs were designed to provide protection from drafts and to trap heat around the sitter's body.
In historic times the wing chair would of be owned by the upper class and most often be used near a fireplace, keeping much needed heat around the sitter as historical houses were renowned for being draftey.
The wing chair comes in various shapes and sizes, from the traditional chesterfield and button backed styles to modern sleek designs and comes in a range of different fabrics and colours. By far, the most popular choice is still the traditional leather chesterfield wing chair, which is handmade using the finest materials.
Ideal for the office and study or for adding another chair to your living room, the wing chair will add a touch of style and luxury to any home.
