FAQs

A Victorian button-back armchair is a seating style popular during the 19th century, characterised by deeply tufted upholstery secured with fabric or leather buttons, designed for comfort and parlour socialising.

These chairs typically feature a sturdy timber frame made from mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally padded with horsehair, wool, or coir beneath heavy textile or leather upholstery.

Authentic pieces can be identified by hand-tied coil springs, traditional hand-stuffed padding, period-appropriate timber joinery, and natural wear consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing methods.

An antique armchair works effectively as a statement piece in a contemporary sitting room, contrasting clean modern lines with historic texture and traditional craftsmanship.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading and timber drying, using gentle vacuum attachments for cleaning, and occasionally checking the internal webbing and springs.
