FAQs

Originating in early twentieth-century social clubs, club chairs typically feature deep seats, low backrests, and heavy plush upholstery designed for maximum relaxation and leisure.

They are typically constructed with solid hardwood frames such as beech or oak, filled with hand-tied coil springs, and finished in durable upholstery fabrics like velvet or leather.

Look for heavy timber frame construction, hand-carved showwood details along the arm fronts or base, traditional internal spring webbing, and original brass castors.

Position them as a pair opposite a neutral sofa to form an inviting conversational zone, complementing dark timber flooring, brass lighting, and muted wall paint tones.

Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment, brush the velvet nap gently in the direction of the weave, and treat liquid spills immediately with a dry cloth.
