FAQs

The scroll arm upholstered settee gained prominence during the Victorian era, evolving from earlier Regency designs into plush, comfortable seating centrepieces for formal drawing rooms.

Authentic period settees typically feature a solid hardwood frame, traditional coil spring suspension, horsehair or wool stuffing, and hand-applied velvet upholstery secured with piping or brass tacks.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber frame construction, hand-tied springs, natural stuffing materials, hand-forged fixings, and signs of genuine wear and oxidisation on the wooden feet and castors.

A vibrant velvet sofa serves as a strong focal point and can be balanced in a contemporary setting by pairing it with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and complementary textural accents such as brass or dark wood.

Preservation requires regular gentle brushing with a soft-bristle brush to prevent pile crushing, keeping the fabric out of direct sunlight to avoid colour fading, and utilizing professional dry-cleaning services for deep maintenance.
