Why are fireside chairs called ‘fireside chairs’?

It is believed that the design of the wing chair was developed in the early 1600s and gained popularity in the 18th century. Their popularity grew as the usage of upholstery and spring cushioning became more prevalent than just their original bare wooden designs. The reason for the name is that their design was ideal for enjoying the warmth of an open fire whilst reducing the effects of any draughts in older abodes.
