FAQs

The Carolean style, emerging during the reign of King Charles II in the late 17th century, is characterised by rich ornamentation, baroque influences, elaborate carving, and the frequent use of walnut timber.

Authentic pieces from this period predominantly utilized native and imported hardwoods such as walnut and oak, often featuring upholstered leather or woven cane panels fastened with brass tacks.

Authentication involves examining joinery techniques, timber oxidation, tool marks, and wear patterns. 19th-century revival pieces often display machine-cut elements or different construction methods compared to 17th-century originals.

These statement armchairs work effectively as focal points in a study or drawing room, contrasting sharply against minimalist walls or paired with sleek, modern textiles to balance historical weight.

Preserve the wood and leather by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Regularly feed the leather with appropriate conservation leather cream and dust the carved wooden surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
