FAQs

Victorian button back armchairs originated in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, characterised by deep tufted upholstery held by decorative buttons and low-slung, comfortable seats. The style reflected the Victorian emphasis on comfort, domesticity, and solid craftsmanship in residential furniture.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, constructed with mortise and tenon joinery. Internal cushioning traditionally relied on steel coil springs, horsehair, and jute webbing, supported by turned front wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned front legs, hand-stitched upholstery webbing, and original brass castors attached to the legs. Inspecting the underside reveals traditional horsehair padding, steel coil springs, and hand-sawn timber frame components.

An antique button back armchair serves as a distinctive focal point in a contemporary living space, study, or bedroom reading corner. Re-upholstering the piece in textured contemporary fabrics, such as velvet or neutral linen, seamlessly blends historical character with modern aesthetics.

Vacuum upholstered surfaces gently using a soft brush attachment to remove dust without disturbing the tufting or buttons. Protect timber legs by cleaning with a damp cloth and periodically applying natural beeswax polish to maintain the original wood finish.
