Why Choose a Chesterfield High Back Wing Chair
A high back wing chair offers a different seating experience from a standard armchair. The tall back and enclosed shape provide additional support and a sense of privacy, making it ideal for longer periods of sitting.
These designs are valued for their comfort and structure, especially in rooms where relaxation or focused reading is important.
Distinctive Design of the High Back Leather Chesterfield Chair
What sets this style apart is its distinctive form and carefully balanced proportions.
Key features include:
- A tall back that supports the shoulders and upper body
- Winged sides that create an enclosed, cocoon-like feel
Signature Chesterfield details remain central to the design:
- Traditional button-set, tufted upholstery
- Gently scrolled arms
- A refined, well-proportioned silhouette
Together, these elements define the character of a chesterfield high back wing chair, combining visual presence with practical comfort.
Leather Finishes & Colour Options
