Pair of Upholstered Hepplewhite Shield-Back Armchairs w Provenance, circa 1870s
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This exquisite pair of circa 1870s Hepplewhite style 'Shield-Back' armchairs are exquisite. We believe the wood to be crafted from solid Mahogany with intricate detailed carved details.
The upholstered back and arms provide additional comfort from the traditional open back style of standard Hepplewhite chairs. Acquired from English Antiques specialist Dillingham & Company in 1998, a copy of the receipt is attached in the photo gallery.
These 19th Century antique shield back arm chairs would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. 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, dining, cafe or breakfast table chairs...

Pair of Bespoke Leather, Club Armchairs, 'The Dutchman', Chairs by London Fine
Located in Hele, Devon, GB
Our Stock # 18.7480
Presenting a superior, bespoke pair of club armchairs, handmade in England.
The Dutchman by London Fine, a deep-seated, traditional club chair, so named for its relaxed, long profile.
Drawing upon London Fine's extensive knowledge and experience in traditional antique furniture, The Dutchman is the first in a new portfolio representing a renaissance of true artisan, traditionally inspired furniture. Engaging some of the most talented craftsmen, selecting the finest materials and utilising no expense spared, traditional principles of the highest order, The Dutchman delivers a new standard in the vanguard of luxury furniture.
Conceived from the desire to create an uncompromised classic, the conceptual idea leant itself perfectly to the creation of a chair, handcrafted to offer the last word in refined relaxation. Using traditional techniques and an eye for exacting detail, this is an inviting opportunity to grace the home with a pair of distinctive, luxuriant chairs upholstered in superior aniline hides, that will last several lifetimes.
The select tulipwood frame, sourced from 25 year sustainable stocks, benefits from pegged and bonded joints to offer a desirably robust structure – a testament to the pursuit of quality, right down to the very core of the chair. The serpentine arms and bellied seat-rail express their form from deep within the sumptuous layers of cushioning. Eschewing the throwaway modern trend for stapled seams, here, only traditional, individual, stud nailing will suffice.
Inspired by Georgian and Victorian hand-craftsmanship, the frame is the skeleton for profusely webbed and deeply sprung upholstery offering luxurious comfort. Layered in four sections, the deeply stuffed cushioning, with a thoughtful balance of feather and down, offers an invitation to relax.
Of the finest quality, the aniline, Highland Chianti hide is a visual and tactile delight. The leather is hand padded, sealed and tanned, accentuating the sinuous form with a finish that will only improve with age and use. Each chair raised upon American, black walnut, tapering legs, splayed at the rear featuring chamfered inner corners and riding smoothly upon high quality, antiqued castors...

Antique and Vintage Armchairs for Sale on 1stDibs
Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between, and everyone has an antique or vintage armchair that they love.
Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power.
In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs.
Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5.
When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair — or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom — can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours.
If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces.
If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.
Everyone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design. Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurposed everyday objects to provocative effect; or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair; the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret; or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose. Find yours on 1stDibs right now.
