FAQs

A crapaud (meaning toad in French) armchair is a traditional low-slung, fully upholstered seat characterized by its rounded silhouette, enveloping backrest, and concealed wooden frame, originating in France during the 19th century.

These chairs typically feature a sturdy hardwood frame, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair or wool stuffing, and are upholstered in fabrics such as cotton ticking, velvet, or damask, often supported on turned wooden legs with castors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit traditional hand-stitched upholstery techniques, dense natural stuffing materials, handmade frame joints, and hand-turned timber legs showing appropriate signs of age and wear.

Their compact scale and tactile upholstery make them versatile additions to contemporary spaces, where they can serve as contrasting conversational seating in a living room or a charming accent piece in a bedroom.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, protecting the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consulting a professional restorer for deep cleaning or reupholstery.
