FAQs

Victorian button-back armchairs emerged during the 19th century, characterised by deep tufting, generous padding, and robust timber frames designed for formal entertaining and comfortable parlour use.

These chairs typically feature dense tropical hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut for the exposed frame and legs, paired with traditional horsehair stuffing, coil springs, and hand-tufted upholstery fabrics.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved wooden joints, traditional upholstery techniques such as hand-tied springs, natural wear patterns on the timber, and historically accurate fastener types like hand-forged screws or early brass castors.

Pairing a historic armchair with contemporary minimalist elements creates a balanced scheme, using neutral or textured fabrics to bridge historical gravity with clean modern lines.

Protect the timber frame from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent cracking, and maintain the fabric upholstery using gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment.
