Classic Chairs
Our classic chairs are designed for those with a timeless sense of style and an eye to longevity. There’s a reason these timeless silhouettes have stuck around! They work beautifully in any scheme and strike the perfect balance between the tried-and-true and the crisp and modern. Whether you are looking for a focal point or a quiet corner for reflection, our classic chairs are crafted to feel right at home in any interior scheme, from the traditional townhouse to the modern country cottage.
Want to create a timeless look in your home? We’ve got just the chairs for you! Our luxurious classic chairs are designed and made right here in Nottinghamshire, an area rich in furniture-making traditions. We draw on classic motifs like scrolled arms and buttoned backs to evoke a sense of years gone by. These elements create a grown-up look, freshened up with modern finishing and streamlined for a sleek effect. That same meticulous detailing carries through to the legs, which are handcrafted from top-notch materials.
Classic Chair FAQs
How Do I Style Classic Chairs in a Contemporary Home?
Our classic chairs bridge the gap between old and new. To style them in a contemporary space, try pairing a traditional silhouette like our Henry or Clara with a bold, modern fabric choice or a vibrant velvet. This juxtaposition keeps the room feeling fresh while grounded in comfort.
How Do I Choose the Right Fabric for a Classic Chair?
For a formal look, consider a structured fabric or a rich wool. For a more relaxed, ‘lived-in’ classic feel, linens and cottons work beautifully. We recommend ordering a selection of our free fabric swatches to see how different textures and colours look in your home’s natural light.
If you’d like a second opinion or help to narrow down your options, book a free online style consultation with one of our expert team members or visit one of our showrooms. They’ll be more than happy to help you find interior inspiration and suggest a few classic chairs.
Can I Customise the Legs on a Classic Armchair?
Absolutely. Even the smallest details can make a big difference. Many of our classic chair styles let you choose the wood finish and leg shape, ranging from traditional turned legs with brass castors to more decorative bobbin legs, to match your flooring and decor.
What’s the Difference Between a Classic Armchair and a Wingback Chair?
While both fall under the umbrella of classic chairs, a wingback is defined by the ‘wings’ attached to the backrest, originally designed to shield the sitter from draughts. Our broader classic armchair collection includes a variety of silhouettes, such as the low-slung Hector chair or the elegant Agatha.
