FAQs

Victorian armchairs typically feature robust wooden frames, deep buttoning, scrolled arms, and low profiles supported by castors, reflecting the periods preference for comfort and opulence.

These chairs were traditionally constructed from hardwoods like beech, mahogany, or walnut, utilizing hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and traditional joinery techniques.

Authenticity is identified through hand-turned wooden legs, brass or porcelain castors, traditional hand-stitched internal webbing, and the use of period-appropriate materials such as horsehair stuffing and hand-forged fixings.

Pairing a traditional armchair with contemporary textures and a neutral colour palette creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the historical craftsmanship while maintaining a modern feel.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, gently vacuuming using a low-suction attachment, and consulting professional conservators for textile or frame repairs.
