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

Produced around 1900 to 1910, Edwardian library armchairs are characterized by deep seats, ergonomic curved backs, and robust timber frames, frequently crafted from mahogany or oak. They were designed for prolonged reading or desk work and were commonly upholstered in heavy-grade hide with brass studding.

Frameworks were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, offering structural strength. Upholstery utilised thick animal hide dyed in rich tones like burgundy, deep green, or tan, secured to the frame with individual brass upholstery tacks.

Authentic pieces display natural age-related patination on the timber frame and leather hide, alongside hand-tacked brass studding rather than modern continuous studding strips. Frame joinery typically shows traditional mortise and tenon construction, occasionally with original castors or shaped cabriole legs.

An antique leather chair functions effectively as a focal accent piece within a home office, reading corner, or modern living space. Placing the rich timber and textured hide against neutral walls or contemporary joinery creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and minimalist design.

Dust the leather regularly with a soft cloth and apply a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking. Position the chair away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to minimise fading and preserve the natural oils within the hide.
