classic!
Gorgeous piece, and one of the two chairs I'm considering as a sitting piece in the upper bedroom. A couple of questions along those lines: how do you find it sits (is it more of an upright/formal piece or something you can relax in as well), and will it fit through a 30 inch doorway (assuming the jams have been removed)? The specs listed make it seem like it's a fairly square 31.5" in both depth and width, so I'm not sure it can work through that door frame.
It's been almost a year since I sat in that chair prior to delivery. Since then I have sat in probably 3,000 more :). My memory of how it sits is foggy at best but chairs like that are never slouch chairs. Generally a classic wing sits upright and well, and you can enhance that sitting position by simply adding a Boot Stool to make it comfortable enough to watch TV or read for several hours. Chairs like that we 'hook' around the door frame so 30" is not usually a problem if on the jamb side (latch side) the wall is clear 3' either side of the door frame.
Ha, thanks Duane. I was indeed looking for the general information you provided and not a "it's a bit tight in the right shoulder" from 15 minutes ago ;-). The 3' (assuming that's actually feet and not inches) would be a problem getting it into the stairway leading up as it's an enclosed staircase, so that may help to narrow down the selection process ;-). Sounds like ~30 inches to one dimension (unless the chair has a reclining mechanism to allow the height to fit through while held horizontally) is a reasonable rule of thumb for this scenario.
Theo overall depth and width is 31.5" on that chair, and carried on its side and slightly tilted, it MIGHT squeeze into a 30" corridor. The only way to tell for sure is to have that chair in front of you and lay it on its side with the seat cushion removed, then run two pieces of masking tape parallel to one another 30" apart - then see if the chair can be positioned to fit in between the tape on its side. Probably 50/50 chance at best. I would do that if I had one to measure.
