FAQs

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, often lighter and less ornate than Victorian pieces, frequently draws inspiration from earlier 18th-century designs such as Sheraton and Chippendale.

These armchairs typically feature frames made from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or birch, constructed with traditional joinery techniques and stuffed with natural materials like horsehair, coir, and hessian webbing.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber aging, hand-cut joinery marks, traditional upholstery foundations including stuffing types, and hardware such as original castors or screw types.

Unupholstered or deconstructed frames offer an industrial or avant-garde aesthetic, allowing them to serve as sculptural statement pieces or restoration projects within contemporary spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber cracking, and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the exposed wood.
