FAQs

19th-century English armchairs are defined by deep seats, scrolled or padded arms, coil-sprung upholstery, and timber legs often terminating in brass castors.

These chairs typically feature solid mahogany or walnut leg frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair padding, and upholstery fabrics such as woven cotton or damask.

Look for hand-stitched under-foundations, stamped brass castors, square-tapered or turned front legs, and mortise-and-tenon frame joinery underneath the upholstery.

Pair the structured silhouette with contemporary neutral textiles, a modern floor lamp, and clean-lined side tables to create a balanced scheme.

Regularly vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment, position the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and polish timber legs with natural beeswax.
