FAQs

A Victorian salon chair is a formal upholstered armchair featuring exposed carved timber detailing, popular in mid-to-late nineteenth-century drawing rooms and parlours. These chairs typically display spoon-back or show-wood framing, deep buttoning, and low padded armrests.

Victorian armchairs were constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood for the exposed frame. The upholstery traditionally incorporated coil springs, webbing, horsehair filling, and hand-tacked leather or velvet fabrics.

Authentic pieces feature deep hand-tufting held by covered buttons, hand-carved show-wood frames, and brass or ceramic castors on turned front legs. Inspecting the underside reveals traditional webbing, hand-tied coil springs, and historic joinery techniques.

A burgundy leather armchair serves as a focal point in a reading corner or home office when contrasted against neutral wall tones or dark moody palettes. Pairing the piece with contemporary brass lighting and natural timber side tables creates a balanced scheme.

Maintain leather upholstery by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a high-quality leather balm annually to prevent drying or cracking. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to protect the wood finish and leather colour.
