The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian armchairs from the mid-to-late 19th century are defined by their deep, comfortable seats, padded backs, and robust timber frames. Front legs were commonly turned or carved and fitted with brass castors to allow easy movement within formal reception rooms.

Framing typically utilised hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut for strength. Upholstery construction incorporated steel coiled springs, webbing, horsehair or wool padding, covered in heavy woven textiles like velvet, wool tweed, or damask.

Authentic pieces feature solid wood internal joinery with mortise and tenon joints, hand-stitched upholstery under-layers, and stamped brass castors on turned front legs. Symmetrical proportions and substantial weight are also key indicators of genuine 19th-century construction.

Position the armchair as an accent piece in a study, library, or living room alongside contemporary neutral sofas. Pairing traditional structured seating with minimalist architecture creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Vacuum wool fabric regularly on low suction with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up. Clean spills immediately with a dry cloth, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fibre fading, and apply bees wax to turned wooden legs periodically to maintain the timber finish.
