Vintage Leather Wingback Armchairs
From the Gentlemen’s clubs of 19th-century London to grand manor houses and country pubs, the leather wingback armchair has been a stalwart favourite since the 1700s. Evolved and iterated over time, our collection of vintage leather winged armchairs features a wide range of characterful styles. Whether it’s the classic button-tufted designs in classic oxblood leather you’re after or a mid-century leather wingback armchair from one of the Scandinavian masters, you’ll discover your one-a-kind in our marketplace today.Originally designed for fireside placement in grand country estates, the leather wingback armchair was designed to protect the upper body from the intense heat of the flames. Due to leather’s fire-resistant qualities, it stood up to intense heat better than embroidered fabrics of the early 18th century. While the basic design of the leather winged armchair hasn’t changed much since they were first created, modern iterations favour clean lines and soft, yielding leathers over the classic stiff, buttoned design.We’ve partnered with trusted sellers and dedicated dealers across the world to offer you a characterful collection of vintage leather wingback armchairs for sale at Vinterior.
