An old and well-loved style, the first wing chair appeared in the 1600s and its purpose was to fend off drafts and protect delicate skin from the heat of a roaring fire. Today, the silhouette is still popular and you can find plenty of variations to classic wing back style. For us…it’s the modern wing back that really soars!
