This Victorian open armchair dates from 1860 and follows the Victorian style in walnut and velvet. The piece displays a rich brown timber tone paired with olive green deep button-tufted dralon upholstery edged in pale cord trim. The curved back incorporates carved floral cresting at the top rail, while the swept arms terminate in padded elbow rests above pierced, scroll-carved supports. The structure is raised on cabriole front legs decorated with carved knees and toes, fitted with original porcelain castors. Measuring 96 cm high, 63 cm wide and 79 cm deep, the armchair offers comfortable seating with a seat height of 51 cm. In a contemporary home, this seating option suits placement in a living room, drawing room, study or bedroom as a reading or fireside chair. The traditional English country house aesthetic integrates well with both period interiors and eclectic modern spaces, functioning as a practical reading chair or a decorative accent piece.

FAQs

Victorian open armchairs are defined by their exposed, carved timber frames, padded armrests with open spaces underneath, and contoured backs often influenced by Rococo Revival curves.

These armchairs were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, paired with traditional horsehair padding, steel coil springs, and velvet or damask upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved details, natural walnut wood grain, original brass castors, and period-appropriate joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints.

A Victorian armchair acts as a strong focal point in modern rooms when placed in a library alcove, paired with clean-lined contemporary tables, or integrated into an eclectic living space.

Dust the velvet upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment, condition the polished walnut frame using natural beeswax, and place the chair away from direct sunlight to avoid fabric fading.
