FAQs

These chairs are characterised by deep button tufting on the upholstery, providing both structural tension and distinctive geometric patterning across the backrest.

Frames were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, utilizing coil spring systems and horsehair stuffing beneath textile upholstery.

Authenticity is assessed through hand-tied coil springs, traditional stuffing materials like animal hair, hand-turned wooden legs, and period-appropriate joinery and textile wear.

Pair the traditional silhouette with minimalist contemporary furnishings, contrasting textures, or clean-lined architecture to create a balanced, eclectic focal point.

Velvet should be gently brushed with the grain using a soft-bristled brush, vacuumed with a low-suction attachment, and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
