This is a high back wing chair made in England in the mid-20th century, inheriting the Jacobean tradition. The wings that wrap around the backrest and the spacious seat give it a throne-like feel. The beech wood legs are decorated with elegant turnings made using a potter's wheel. The upholstery has a damask pattern, and the elegant purplish-gray tones create a classy atmosphere.

Details

Jacobean style refers to a decorative style that flourished during the reign of King James I of England (1603-1625) in the early 17th century. Characterized by a dignified and solemn atmosphere, it was decorated with turnings using a potter's wheel, and robust woodworking techniques were used, mainly using oak. This mid-20th century Jacobean Revival masterpiece combines period beauty with modern comfort. The wing chair was originally designed to prevent drafts and efficiently retain the heat of the flames when sitting in front of a fireplace. The high backrest firmly supports your neck and head, making it less tiring even when sitting for long periods of time. The beech wood used for the legs has a dense and beautiful wood surface, making it suitable for potter's wheel processing. The continuous spherical turning decoration is a testament to the craftsman's advanced technique. The damask pattern on upholstery is a traditional weaving technique that expresses three-dimensional patterns with a glossy weave, and has been used by the imperial court and aristocrats since ancient times.

Recommended uses

It is also a great place to place it in the corner of your bedroom to relax before bed. The armrest is large enough to comfortably rest your elbows, and if you add a side table, you can relax while keeping a cup of coffee or a book close at hand. This is a chair that will enrich your time alone and become a special place to be.
