Price History
Description
Product Information This traditional fireside chair, upholstered in antiqued chestnut brown leather, will add a classical gravitas to any drawing room, front room or even bedroom. Constructed from a hardwood frame, it has a traditionally webbed back and the cushions are filled in soft feather and down for that "squidgy" feeling. Featuring turned "leaf" front legs in antique mahogany finish, the much-loved, been-around-for-years look is completed by an expertly-applied aged effect. Slight variations will occur from chair to chair. Please note: not all our ranges are on display in our shops.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of this Compton wing chair for its classic lines and rich, hand-antiqued leather that warms up both traditional and more contemporary schemes. The deep tan hue works equally well against muted greys or jewel-toned walls, while the subtle brass studding adds a tailored detail. For styling, tuck in a soft wool throw or sheepskin over one arm and place a slim wooden side table alongside with a simple lamp. Pair it with a low-pile rug (think natural jute or a muted Persian) to balance the chair’s presence, and keep surrounding furniture low-profile so the wingback remains your focal point.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
