These impressive pair of Victorian button back reading chairs exemplifies the comfort and craftsmanship of 19th Century English furniture. Upholstered in rich, aged leather with deep button-back detailing, the chairs offer both visual impact and exceptional comfort, making them ideal for a study, library, or refined living space.
Each chair is supported by beautifully carved rosewood arms and legs, showcasing elegant scrollwork and strong proportions typical of the Victorian period. The generous seat, supportive back, and rolled arms provide a relaxed yet upright seating position, perfectly suited for reading or conversation.
With their warm leather patina and finely detailed rosewood frames, these antique reading chairs are both practical and decorative. They work equally well as a matched pair or placed individually within a traditional or eclectic interior scheme.
