Description

A Victorian button back armchair circa 1880 , with spoon back, scroll arms and serpentine shaped seat, raised on bulbous mahogany legs terminating in castors.

A very comfortable armchair for recovering. Suitable for use as an occasional or bedroom chair. The upholstery itself is sound as are the springs with no lumps or bumps to the seat but the fabric is grubby and it needs new top covers. I can arrange re-covering with my upholsterer and supply fabric if required. Please get in touch for further details.

The back 72cm high, the seat 57cm wide at the front, 50cm deep and 32cm high. Total depth 86cm.

FAQs

Keep wooden components conditioned with appropriate wax, protect textiles from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult professional conservators for structural repairs or reupholstery.

Pairing a traditional period armchair with contemporary minimalist surroundings creates a striking contrast, particularly when reupholstered in modern textured linen or bold geometric velvets.

Authentication relies on examining the hand-tied coil springs, traditional webbing, timber species, hand-turned wooden legs, and ceramic or brass castors typical of 19th-century cabinet making.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hardwood frame such as mahogany or walnut, supported by traditional coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy cotton or velvet top fabrics.

Victorian button back armchairs are characterised by deep tufted upholstery, curved silhouettes, and low profiles designed for comfort and parlour socialising during the 19th century.
