wingchairs
High-sided armchairs
Wingchairs are upholstered armchairs with high backs and projecting side panels that extend forward at head level.
The wings were originally designed to shield the sitter from drafts and retain heat from fireplaces.
The style dates to 17th-century England but remains popular: a pair of leather wingchairs flanked the fireplace.
Also written as two words: wing chairs.
