Wing Back Chairs 

The wingback chair, also known as the wing chair, is a classic upholstered chair with "wings" or side panels that extend from the backrest to the armrests. These wings were originally designed to shield the sitter from drafts and to trap heat from a fireplace, making the chair ideal for use in cold and draughty rooms.
The wingback chair is believed to have originated in England in the late 17th century, during the reign of Queen Anne. It was designed as a comfortable and practical piece of furniture for the well-to-do and quickly became popular in homes and public spaces.
