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

A Bridgewater armchair is a traditional upholstered lounge chair defined by its low, set-back rolled arms, deep seat, and softly angled backrest. Originating in English country homes, the design prioritises comfort while allowing relaxed seating without heavy visual bulk.

Traditional construction incorporates a hardwood frame, typically beech or oak, fitted with hand-tied coil springs and natural fillings such as horsehair and jute webbing. The front legs are usually turned timber fitted with metal or brass castors, upholstered in heavy cotton, velvet, or damask fabrics.

Authentic period examples feature solid hardwood joinery, hand-turned front legs, and original stamped brass castors on the front feet. Inspecting the underside often reveals traditional jute webbing, hand-stitched horsehair padding, and hand-tied coil springs rather than modern foam or synthetic webbing.

Place the armchair alongside a modern minimalist sofa to create contrast, or situate it in a corner with a standing reading light and side table. Reupholstering in a textured neutral linen or bold plain velvet bridges the gap between historical form and modern interior palettes.

Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris from piped seams. Position the chair away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent textile fading and wood shrinkage, and address spills immediately using dry absorbent cloths rather than harsh chemical cleaners.
