What customers say
The sophisticated design and exceptional quality are the standout features for these wingback chairs. Customers consistently praise the elegant, antique inspired aesthetic, noting the chairs serve as immediate statement pieces that elevate a room's decor. The Italian linen is frequently described as luxurious, and the construction feels substantial and durable.

Know before you buy
These chairs are designed with a 19th-century Italian aesthetic, featuring traditional hand-carved details and an aged patina to replicate the look of a historical antique.
The seat height is 23.5 inches. Because this is higher than the standard 18-inch dining chair, these are better suited for a formal living room, reading nook, or as accent chairs rather than for standard dining tables.
Natural linen is a durable but porous fabric. We recommend professional cleaning for spills and regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to prevent dust buildup.
No, these chairs are designed exclusively for indoor use. The solid wood frame and natural linen upholstery are not treated to withstand the humidity or temperature fluctuations found in outdoor environments.
Each chair measures 29.5 inches wide by 26.25 inches deep. Given their high 51.25-inch back, they have a significant visual presence, so ensure you have enough vertical clearance and floor space to allow the wings to stand out.
