Wing back chairs were manufactured exclusively for the royal families in the ancient times. They were considered special due to their back design. In old times, not everyone could sit on a chair. Only those who held high positions in the government or those who chair a committee and academic department could maintain a seat or chair.
It was not until after the 15th century when the prevalence of wealthy noblemen marked the beginning of the use of chairs as furniture in Europe. Later, the Renaissance Period allowed anybody who could afford to own chairs and brought them home. However, even at that time, only the privileged, elite, and nobles were offered to be seated on a chair.
Of course, little by little, such haughty concept of chairs had begun to fade. And soon, the chairs became available to everyone regardless of social status and wealth. This includes the wing back chairs.
Some features of wing back chairs include protective and comfortable back. The back portion of these chairs is designed to provide excellent back support and comfort. One of the famous designs is the Queen Anne created in the 18th century for Queen Anne of Great Britain.
The Queen Anne chair is divided among three simple components-the cabriole legs, vasiform splats, and curvilinear lines on the sides. Horseshoe is how this chair is shaped and which makes it unique and different from the rest of wing chairs.
It has scroll motif and carved shells as part of Queen Anne
