I am looking for typical Victorian-style balloon-back chairs similar to the pictures I am enclosing. They should not be as large as wing chairs but must have high backs for my husband to have a comfortable nap. Can you help?

For comfortable snoozing, you need a chair with a back height of around 100cm and here are two that might suit you. The Grandfather chair at Leather Chairs of Bath, is similar to the balloon-back chairs in the pictures you sent. It is 101.5cm high, 71cm wide and 63.5cm deep and can be covered with your choice of fabric – not necessarily leather despite the shop’s name. It costs £645 plus 4m of fabric. If you would consider a refurbished antique chair, The Odd Chair Company, features a constantly changing selection of restored period chairs, including Victorian balloon-backs (pictured), which can be upholstered in any suitable fabric. Some of these chairs have a back height of around 107cm and cost from about £2,700, plus fabric.
