Details

Pair of rare, extra-large 1950s wingback armchairs known as “Ella”, offered as a set and requiring restoration.

A classic wingback profile with wings that project on both sides. Wing shape often varies by origin—curved forms are thought to be more European, while straighter lines are considered more American. The wingback chair is credited to the 17th century, associated with English furniture designer Thomas Chippendale. Conceived to support the head and neck, the form was suited to nursing and originally intended for placement near a fireplace, with wings aiding draft protection and basic climate control. Designed for comfort and widely used as reading chairs, wingbacks also accommodate contrasting upholstery well. While reproductions are readily found, earlier examples such as this pair are less commonly encountered.
