Mid 19th century sofas are characterised by robust wooden frames, deeply sprung interiors, and scrolled armrests designed for comfort and durability in traditional country houses.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames made from timber such as mahogany or beech, traditionally stuffed with horsehair, wool, and supported by coil springs.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and authentic wear on turned wooden legs and brass castors.

Pair this piece with contemporary minimalist decor to create a striking contrast, or blend it into a layered, traditional room alongside complementary textiles and antique furniture.

Preserve the fabric through regular gentle vacuuming, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, and periodically condition any exposed wooden elements with appropriate wax.
