Henredon Wingback Chairs
American
Founded in 1945, Henredon is one of the more recently minted of the top-tier North Carolina furniture makers. Among collectors, Henredon is admired both for its sleek, sexy sofas, dining tables and other furniture of the 1970s and for its partnerships with noted designers, a program that began in the 1950s with decorating icon Dorothy Draper and architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
From the start, Henredon has been best known for its bedroom furniture and vintage case pieces, such as cabinets, dressers, armoires and credenzas. The brand was established in Morganton by former Drexel Furniture Company executives, and its name is a portmanteau term, derived from the first names of three of the company’s founders — T. Henry Wilson, Ralph Edwards and Don VanNoppen. (Sterling Collett, a fourth figure mentioned in Henredon Furniture’s history, chaired the company and served as treasurer).
Though not on the cutting edge stylistically, Henredon’s production — as well as its output under the Heritage-Henredon label — has always kept pace with contemporary tastes.
In 1953, High Point manufacturer Heritage began a collaboration with Dorothy Draper, famed for bravura interior design commissions such as the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco and the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. Her taste for bold, modernized historical style is reflected in the incised baroque medallions of her España line and the geometric motif of her Viennese furnishings group. In 1955, Henredon launched the Taliesin Ensemble by Wright, named after the architect’s houses in Wisconsin and Arizona. Taliesin dressers and coffee tables are recognizable by their angular shapes and a dentil motif on their edges. In those years, Henredon had a cross-licensing agreement with Heritage, and Draper and Wright's furniture is usually labeled Heritage-Henredon.
In later decades, Henredon produced collections for such designers as Ralph Lauren and Laura Ashley. The company took a stylish turn in the 1970s, fabricating new and unusual forms like mirrored room dividers and console tables with rounded corners and burl-wood veneers. Such pieces are priced in the $3,000 to $4,000 range, as are chests of drawers by Draper. Wright furniture tends toward the higher end, priced around $7,000. Henredon was an aesthetically diverse maker, but its furniture commands attention and makes a statement in any eclectic decor.
The vintage Henredon furniture for sale on 1stDibs includes bedroom furniture, coffee tables, chairs and other pieces.

Writer's Chair and Ottoman by Henredon in Thick Heavy Patinated Leather, Signed
By Henredon
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This gorgeous 'Writers' wingback club chair and ottoman by Henredon for Ralph Lauren has such incredible lightly distressed and moderately patinated leather, very thick and quality natural hides were used in its making. The original Writer's Chairs retailed by Ralph Lauren have been produced by Henredon in the United States for many years, making this classic staple of American design somewhat of a status symbol of Writer's chairs.
*Note, this listing is for one chair and one ottoman, priced as a set. If you wish to purchase only the chair please message us for details. Also we have other Writer's chairs and ottomans in stock if you are looking for to create a larger set.
The striking large scale wingback silhouette is iconic, along with the many deeply tufted buttons, many have copied this design but none are as good as the original. This casual and laid-back yet refined wingback chair is signed with a Ralph Lauren label. A new Writer's chair and ottoman in this leather will cost over $15,000 new, yet these are meant to be used and aged therefore what's the point of buying a new one when you can get this incredible aged one for much less and without the long lead time?
The seat back has deep tufting, nail head trim along the edges, and mahogany bun feet, all parts of the signature Ralph Lauren casual yet refined style. Have we mentioned how thick and quality the leather is? Ideal for reading, watching a movie, soaking in a view, smoking a cigar or tobacco pipe or as the best executive throne chair you can imagine for Zoom meetings.
Consider this Ralph Lauren Writers wingback lounge chair in a hotel lobby or restaurant lounge, in a home next to a fireplace or in a bedroom where you can snuggle with a blanket and a book, next to a TV, gosh this would be the most comfortable TV chair, you can watch late night TV and literally fall asleep in the chair. Also consider for your living room or den. This iconic arm chair can work in virtually any style room from Mid-Century Modern to contemporary, traditional, classical, south western, Art Deco, Spanish Hacienda, and more. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, cafe or breakfast table chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, hallway chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, conference room chairs, office guest chairs...
