Victorian Walnut Button Back Open Armchair, Circa 1880

19th century
Description

Bring a touch of timeless character to your space with this beautifully crafted Victorian walnut button back armchair, dating to around 1880. With its elegant silhouette, carved detailing, and open arm design, this chair blends antique charm with a cool, curated aesthetic that works seamlessly in both vintage-inspired and modern interiors.

Made from high-quality English walnut that’s mellowed into a warm golden tone, the frame has been lovingly wax-finished in our workshop, enhancing its natural patina. It’s solid, sturdy, and built to last - no loose joints here. Whether you’re styling a reading nook, bedroom corner, or statement spot in your living room, this piece adds instant personality and quiet luxury.

The upholstery is in great shape, with a softly worn-in vibe that tells a story without looking tired. A little wear on one arm pad only adds to its authenticity. If you’re into mixing old-world craftsmanship with a contemporary lifestyle, this unique armchair delivers both comfort and character in spades.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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 open armchairs typically feature exposed wooden frames with open spaces between the seat and padded armrests, often accented with deep-buttoned backrests, turned legs, and decorative timber carvings.

Frames were commonly crafted from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, filled with natural horsehair and coiled springs, and finished with brass castors and woven textile upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery, original ceramic or brass castors, evidence of traditional upholstery methods like hand-tied springs, and natural surface patination on the timber frame.

A Victorian armchair can serve as a focal point in a contemporary living space or bedroom, contrasting structured modern architectural lines with soft, historic curves and textured fabric.

Timber frames require occasional wax polishing to preserve the finish, while fabric upholstery should be gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
