Brussels Chair

A tall-backed chair with scrolled arms, looking slightly regal in either outfit.

The Brussels Chair is a wing chair with outward-scrolled wooden arm supports. Wing chairs go back to the late 17th century, when high sides kept off drafts. This model has a tall, rounded back with gently flared wings and a deep, cushioned seat. The arm fronts curve and end in tight scrolls, the seat rail is finely reeded, and the square legs taper as they splay out. It is shown in crimson velvet on pale wood and in a sage fabric on dark wood, with a faded Union Jack pillow. It is 28 inches long, 34 deep and 43.75 high.

Equally ready for a library or a long afternoon.
