The wingback is the original draught excluder: those side panels were there to keep the fire's warmth in and the cold out, and they still make it the most enveloping chair in the room.

Ours keeps the classic high back and rolled arms but sits on a slightly slimmer frame, so it does not dominate a modern living room. Deep buttoning on the back is done by hand.

• Hand buttoned back
