A superb mahogany armchair by Wheelers of Arncroach, Fife—an elegant and charming piece with classic Chippendale styling. The out-scrolled arms frame a beautifully shaped back with an open splat and gently curved top ends, offering both visual grace and historical reference. Standing on square tapering front legs and slightly out-swept rear supports, the frame is united by an H-stretcher and a rear cross stretcher for added stability. The drop-in seat is upholstered in a gold-toned fabric, free from marks or rips, and easily recoverable to suit personal taste. With its rich colouring and wonderful patina, this is a versatile and characterful chair—perfect for a bedroom, hallway, or reading nook, and a fine example of Scottish craftsmanship.
