Wingback Chairs
Traditional high-back seating in solid wood frames, designed for proportion, comfort, and permanence.
Saratoga, California · Showroom Open Mon–Sat
Wingback chairs are high-back upholstered armchairs with distinctive side wings that define their structure and presence in a room.
Its defining feature is not decoration, but proportion — the relationship between height, enclosure, and placement within a room.
At Reeva Sethi Home, we offer traditional and heritage-inspired wingback chairs built with solid wood frames and tailored upholstery.
Available at our Saratoga showroom, serving Los Gatos, Palo Alto, and the greater Bay Area.

Not every chair is a wingback. Lower-profile accent chairs serve a different role in a room — less architectural, more transitional.
Kiln-dried hardwood with stable joinery — not softwood dressed up as structure.
Height and wing projection scaled to the room, not the photograph.
Disciplined lines, correct seat pitch, and depth that holds its shape over years.
Patina that deepens over time. Not artificial distressing applied on day one.

Standard Wingback Chair Dimensions
Scale matters more with a wingback than with most chairs. Too small, and the form loses presence. Too large, and it crowds the composition. These are the ranges that cover most traditional examples.
