FAQs

Victorian scroll back armchairs gained popularity during the 19th century, characterised by distinct curved armrests and ergonomic low profiles designed for parlour and drawing room socialising.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, traditionally padded with horsehair, wool, and coil springs before being upholstered in rich textiles like velvet or damask.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the joinery, hand-tied coil springs, traditional webbing, and signs of age such as hand-turned timber components and period-appropriate textile wear.

They make striking statement pieces when contrasted against minimalist contemporary backdrops, adding texture and historic character to eclectic or transitional living spaces.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consulting a professional textile restorer for deep cleaning.
