Know before you buy
Yes, the chair features a drop-in seat design, which allows you to remove the seat cushion easily to reupholster it with a fabric that better matches your existing decor.
With a height of 41-1/4 inches and a width of 24-1/2 inches, this armchair is substantial. Ensure your dining table has enough length to accommodate the width of the arms, and verify that the arm height clears the underside of your table apron.
The chair is designed with a supportive serpentine ladder back and an upholstered seat, making it comfortable for extended seating. However, because it is a formal dining chair, it offers a more upright, structured posture rather than a lounge-style recline.
To preserve the antiqued finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that contain silicone, as these can damage the patina over time.
The undulating stretchers are specifically included to provide structural reinforcement to the sabre legs. This design ensures the chair remains stable and durable despite its delicate, Regency-inspired aesthetic.
