FAQs

Nursing chairs originated in the Victorian era, characterised by their low seats which were designed to allow women to nurse infants comfortably while wearing the voluminous crinolines and bustles of the period.

These chairs typically feature a hardwood frame finished with ebonising to imitate expensive ebony, paired with hand-stitched petit point or beadwork upholstery fixed with brass tacks.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period joinery, hand-carved wooden frames, traditional stuffing materials such as horsehair, and turned wooden legs frequently fitted with brass and porcelain castors.

They function effectively as accent seating in bedrooms or living spaces, where their compact scale allows them to fit into small alcoves or beside dressing tables without overwhelming the room.

Protect delicate needlework and beadwork from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment with a mesh screen, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the ebonised wood.
