FAQs

Victorian armchairs are characterised by robust wooden frames, deep button tufting, sprung construction, and heavily padded upholstery designed for comfort and durability.

Makers typically used seasoned hardwoods such as beech or mahogany for the internal frame, combined with horsehair stuffing, coil springs, and durable outer textiles like cotton chintz or damask.

Authenticity is assessed through hand-tied coil springs, traditional stuffing materials, original castors, and construction joints appropriate to the late nineteenth century.

Pair the piece with neutral walls and minimalist modern furniture to create a balanced focal point that highlights the traditional craftsmanship and textile pattern.

Preserve the fabric through regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult a professional conservator for cleaning.
