We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian spoon back armchair is a mid-to-late 19th-century upholstered seat characterised by a curved, concave backrest resembling the shape of a spoon bowl. Popularised between the 1850s and 1880s, these chairs typically feature deep button tufting, padded arms, and turned timber legs.

Frames were built using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, constructed with mortise and tenon joinery. The internal upholstery used coil springs tied with jute webbing, layered with horsehair or coir padding, and covered in woven wool, damask, or velvet fabric.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned wooden legs, brass castors, and original hand-stitched upholstery beneath top fabrics. Inspection of the underside typically reveals dowel joinery on the timber frame, hand-tied springs, and natural surface patination on the timber feet.

Positioning the chair alongside modern minimalist furniture creates visual contrast through texture and form. Pair the tactile velvet upholstery with contemporary metal floor lamps, streamlined side tables, or neutral wool rugs to highlight the curved silhouette.

Vacuum the velvet upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment following the direction of the pile to remove dust particles. Keep the item away from direct sunlight to minimise fabric discolouration, and condition the exposed wooden legs using natural beeswax polish.
