This rare pair of Heywood-Wakefield armchairs features the classic post-war wingback-inspired silhouette with clean lines and beautifully tapered solid wood legs. Both chairs still retain their authentic circular eagle trademark maker's stamp on the interior wood frame. I love the butterfly wingback style.

Why They're Great for Restoring:
• Excellent Bones: The structural frames are perfectly intact, and the heavy-duty serpentine zig-zag springs are strong with zero sagging.
• Good Padding: The original underlying padding and form-fill remain firm and well-shaped, saving you time and material costs during restoration.
• Legs: The solid birch/maple legs feature the brand's iconic warm wheat/amber tone finish. They display only minor superficial scuffing from floor contact and do not require heavy structural repair.

Restoration Potential:
The current vintage floral upholstery is heavily worn and stained, making these the ultimate canvas for customization. Reimagine them in a period-correct premium wool bouclé, atomic tweed, or a bold contemporary velvet to instantly elevate any living room, den, or office space. See less
