My 10 Most Winning Wing Chairs

<p align="justify">Traditionally a <b>wing back chair</b> was an upholstered easy chair with large "wings" mounted to the armrests and enclosing the head or torso areas of the body. Such wing back chairs were originally designed to provide comfortable protection from drafts, and particularly to trap the heat from a fireplace in the area where the person would be sitting. Hence, they were most often used near a fireplace in historic times. So the wing back chair started out to function in rooms that were not centrally heated. We have come a long way since then and the wing back chair has morphed to fit the times and the style of the rooms we live in. </p> <p align="center"><font size="3">Please leave a comment at the end of this article and let me know which is your favourite wing back chair.</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY8LphPM-mfT9qCVqtxQ5lClAaxOL-8m-tcVbKNaFdKbNO4cWC0ZMvX3PfoYm4fpabIFVm-llSBTOJzh9hJqvHwiXJi1gxcqmrNku_-P9NcrLyks-28-noV0WQ9YvHkZbpkEf-klRjjn9Z/s1600-h/image1%5B6%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoDNHPtKUaXFEjJ5eOHL-a-4lYJAqUrdvAMDXSvsIt-MXC485Blg0GADo4NNYSlV0JNdbzhSf3Ubu-04FTdaGvIkRftkroRYEbB2SRSp2u2SE5aE0gGpFWgHtw8xK52gibfrm0BDUmhLD_/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px;
