FAQs

A spoonback armchair is a style of seating that gained popularity during the Victorian era, characterised by a curved backrest resembling the bowl of a spoon. These chairs were designed for comfort and ergonomic support in 19th-century drawing rooms and parlours.

Traditional Victorian spoonback armchairs feature solid hardwood frames, typically mahogany or walnut, with coiled steel springs, horsehair padding, and hand-stitched webbing. The front legs are often turned and fitted with brass castors to facilitate movement.

Authentic period examples usually feature hand-carved mahogany or walnut timber frames, original brass castors attached to turned legs, and traditional upholstery construction techniques such as tacks and webbing underneath fabric layers.

Position the armchair in a reading nook or beside a fireplace alongside a contemporary floor lamp and a low side table to create a balanced contrast between traditional and modern elements.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood cracking and fabric fading, and clean the wooden legs with a soft cloth and beeswax polish while vacuuming upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment.
