SPECIFICATIONS Designer: Unknown Manufacturer: Unknown Country: United States Materials: Original Leather, Walnut-Stained Beechwood, Brass Nailhead Trim Period Style: English Edwardian Date of Manufacturer: 1960's Condition: Original Vintage Condition Number of Items: 2 ID Number: 10705 Dimensions: Chair: 35”H x 30”W x 37”D Seat Height: 15.50" Ottoman: 14.50”H x 26”W x 21.50” Description: This English Edwardian-style chair and matching ottoman, dating to the 1960's, feature original leather upholstery with deep Chesterfield-inspired button tufting and a generously proportioned silhouette. The chair is distinguished by its rolled back and arms, tailored brass nailhead trim, and gracefully shaped walnut-stained beechwood legs that bring warmth and definition to the substantial upholstered form. A coordinating tufted ottoman mirrors the materials and detailing of the chair, creating a cohesive seating ensemble designed for relaxed comfort. The original leather displays the natural patina and character developed through decades of use, enhancing the traditional English-inspired appearance of the set. Presented in Original Vintage Condition, both pieces have been carefully inspected by our studio for stable construction, secure joints, supportive seating, and overall functionality. Fun Historical Fact Edwardian design emerged in Britain during the reign of King Edward VII and often favored greater refinement and lighter proportions than the heavier furniture of the preceding Victorian era. Chesterfield seating, with its recognizable deep button tufting, had already become an established part of British interiors and continued to influence upholstered furniture well into the 20th century. By the 1960's, furniture makers were adapting these historic English forms for contemporary homes, libraries, and offices while preserving details such as tufted leather and decorative nailhead trim. Original leather examples are especially expressive over time, as regular use develops the variations in tone and surface patina that give traditionally upholstered furniture its distinctive character.
