A striking mid-century fireside armchair by E. Gomme for G Plan, dating from the 1950s. Beautifully proportioned with its distinctive pointed wingback, sharply angled armrests and elegant splayed legs, this chair perfectly captures the bold yet refined styling of early British modern design.
What makes this example particularly special is its original striped wool upholstery, retaining all of its authentic retro character. The angled seat and supportive wingback provide a wonderfully comfortable place to relax, while the solid oak frame adds warmth and durability. An ideal statement chair for a period interior or a characterful reading corner.
