FAQs

Victorian upholstered seating is characterised by comfortable, heavily padded forms, often featuring deep button tufting, scroll arms, and turned wooden legs fitted with castors for mobility.

These frames were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally stuffed with natural materials like horsehair, wool, and coir before being secured with coil springs.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the frame construction methods, handmade joinery, hand-tied coil springs, and the wear patterns on the wooden elements and castors.

Pairing a traditional buttoned armchair with contemporary minimalist furnishings creates a striking contrast that highlights its historical craftsmanship while adding tactile warmth to the room.

Preserve antique upholstery by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming with a low-suction attachment, and consulting professional conservators for textile cleaning.
