This Victorian spoon back armchair dates from the 19th century and brings classic English country house style to a living room, study or bedroom. The piece is constructed with a mahogany frame, upholstered in a cream fabric with subtle floral patterns in soft blue and green tones, and finished with deep button tufting on the backrest. Visible details include turned dark wood legs fitted with small brass and porcelain castors, alongside discolouration on the headrest and both arms from use. The armchair measures 97 cm high, 78 cm wide and 77 cm deep in practical terms. It serves as a comfortable reading chair by a fireplace or as an occasional seat in a reception room.

FAQs

A spoon back armchair is characterised by a rounded, concave backrest resembling the bowl of a spoon, popular during the Victorian era for comfortable parlour seating.

These chairs were typically constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, stuffed with horsehair or coir, and fitted with brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century chairs often feature hand-turned front legs, brass ceramic-wheeled castors, hand-stitched upholstery, and deep button-tufting detailing.

A spoon back chair functions effectively as an accent piece in a bedroom corner, reading nook, or placed alongside contemporary living room furniture.

Vacuum fabric gently using a soft brush attachment, keep wood components conditioned with natural beeswax, and place out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading.
