FAQs

Button-tufting gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, heavily utilised on upholstered seating to secure stuffing evenly while adding decorative depth and texture to parlour and drawing-room furniture.

Authentic period armchairs typically feature a sturdy hardwood frame made from timber such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally joined with mortise and tenon joints, hand-tied coil springs, and horsehair or wool stuffing beneath the top upholstery.

Authenticity is assessed by inspecting the internal framing methods, hand-carved timber components, hand-stitched upholstery techniques, traditional hardware such as brass castors, and natural ageing characteristics on the wood and fabric.

Pairing a traditional button-back armchair with contemporary minimalist furnishings creates a striking transitional aesthetic, adding texture, heritage character, and contrasting soft curves to clean architectural lines.

Preservation involves keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, and treating wooden legs with appropriate wax polish while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
