Customizable French Provincial–inspired Wingback Armchair

This classic wingback fireside chair is a timeless traditional silhouette—high back with supportive wings, gently rolled arms, and a warm wood frame that gives it that old-world, collected look. It’s the kind of piece that can lean English cottage, traditional, or even modern grandmillennial depending on the fabric and finish you choose.

Wingback chairs first appeared in the late 17th century, and were designed to protect the sitter from drafts and the heat of a roaring fire. The distinctive wings provided warmth and comfort. While originally popular in grand homes and libraries, the style saw a revival in various forms throughout the 20th century, often adapting to changing aesthetic preferences and materials. This particular floral pattern points to a mid-20th century interpretation.

When you purchase this chair, it will be fully refinished and professionally reupholstered to your exact specifications. You’ll choose the fabric, trim details (including nailheads), and wood finish, and I’ll handle the complete transformation from frame to final styling.
