19thc Pair of Large Walnut Framed Wingback Armchairs

A superb pair of generously proportioned wingback armchairs, beautifully upholstered in a high-quality crewel work fabric with floral and foliate motifs in soft, warm tones. These elegant chairs feature deep seats with plump feather-filled cushions, scrolled arms, and shaped wingbacks offering both style and comfort.

The intricately carved walnut bases are a standout feature, with richly detailed shell and foliate motifs above bold cabriole legs terminating in claw and ball feet—reminiscent of the 18th century Chippendale style. Sturdy and comfortable, this pair blends decorative appeal with everyday practicality, ideal for a traditional sitting room, library, or country house interior.
