Essex Lane Chair

This chair is a hallmark of "transitional" design, bridging the gap between traditional elegance and modern comfort. The cushioned roll arms add a touch of classic sophistication, while the skirted base hides the legs to create a clean, grounded look often favored in coastal, farmhouse, or traditional interiors. Its soft ivory tone acts as a versatile neutral, allowing it to anchor a room filled with bold colors or blend seamlessly into a serene, monochromatic space.

Due to its 60.5-inch width and 42-inch depth, it is essential to measure your home's entryways and pathways before delivery. Standard interior doorways often range from 30 to 32 inches; however, because this chair has a height of 34 inches, our delivery experts can often maneuver it through smaller openings by "tilting" the piece. We recommend clearing all pathways of rugs and low-hanging artwork to ensure a smooth transition into your living space.

The exceptional "sink-in" comfort is the result of a multi-layered cushion construction. Each seat features a supportive foam core encased in a custom blend of feathers, fiber, and down. This specific combination is engineered to provide a soft, indulgent feel while the high-resilience foam core ensures the chair maintains its structural integrity and support over years of daily use.

With an expansive width of 60.5 inches, this piece is classified as a "chair-and-a-half." It offers nearly double the seating area of a standard accent chair, which typically measures between 30 and 40 inches wide. This oversized design creates a luxurious, intimate space perfect for a master bedroom reading nook or a cozy spot for two in a living room, providing the comfort of a loveseat with the singular silhouette of a chair.

While ivory is a light hue, this chair is designed with durability in mind. The chenille fabric is a heavy-duty blend of 85% polyester and 15% rayon—synthetic fibers known for their resilience and resistance to wear compared to 100% natural materials. Furthermore, the slipcover style is an ideal lifestyle choice for active households; unlike traditional upholstery, a slipcover can be removed for more thorough maintenance, helping the piece stay looking fresh even in high-traffic family rooms.

The choice of a polyester and rayon blend is particularly beneficial for our customers in coastal or humid regions like Florida and Texas. Unlike 100% cotton or linen, which can absorb moisture and be prone to stretching or mildewing in high humidity, these synthetic fibers are more dimensionally stable. This ensures the slipcover maintains its tailored fit and soft chenille texture regardless of the local climate, providing long-lasting durability in sun-drenched or humid environments.
