The Retro Business

Description

Edwardian wingback armchair with original brass castors. Strong, sound frame. Upholstery springs rather ‘soggy’ ….. they’re get-away-able with. The loose cover is removable so could be washed. It’s a thick cotton/linen mix with a small amount of wear but no stains.
Depending on your tastes this is a wonderful, shabby, country house style armchair which would look good in an eclectic interior OR it’s a great shape & ripe for an upgrade.
Measures: Height 111 cms, Width 69 cms, Depth 69 cms, Seat Height 45 cms
The Retro Business evolved out of our love of auctions and our interest in interiors, furniture, art, textiles. We’ve been dealing for many years now. We love the clean lines, the craftsmanship and designs of the Mid 20th C but are also unable to resist the allure of ‘smart’ antique pieces, rustic country items, wonderful French gilt furniture, in fact anything that catches our eye. We’re firm believers that interiors should always be eclectic and that nothing works better than a mixture of periods in a room.
We sympathetically restore a lot of our items ourselves but in keeping with our ethos we will never ‘over restore’ or destroy a patina that has taken years to develop (i.e our French gilded items will proudly wear their signs of history but all joints will be sound & drawers will move well.)
We have met many wonderful customers through out the years and we love to be able to help so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have something special you’d like us to keep an eye out for or if you have any questions.
