wing chair
High-sided armchair
A wing chair is an upholstered armchair with a high back and projecting side panels that extend forward at head height.
The wings were originally designed to shield the sitter from drafts and retain warmth from the fireplace.
The style dates to 17th-century England but remains a classic furniture piece: She settled into the leather wing chair by the fire.
