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

Originating in the Ottoman Empire as low wooden platforms with cushions, ottomans were adapted in 19th-century Britain into padded storage seats. During the Victorian era, they became central features of country house dressing rooms, drawing rooms, and libraries, prized for combining deep-upholstered seating with hidden utility.

Traditional Victorian ottomans were built with solid hardwood internal frames, typically oak or beech, upholstered in full-grain calfskin or hide. They featured deep buttoning secured with internal twine, hand-tacked brass studs along the seams, and turned timber feet often fitted with brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-turned feet, period brass castors, individual hand-cut brass studding rather than modern strip studding, and organic leather surface wear such as light crazing and tonal variations. Internal construction usually reveals hand-sawn timber framing and period metal hinges or lock escutcheons.

A large ottoman works effectively as a central coffee table in a living space when topped with a wooden tray, or positioned at the foot of a bed in a principal bedroom. It can also serve as a low room-divider bench in open-plan reception rooms while offering concealed storage.

Dust the leather regularly with a dry, soft cloth and keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking. Apply a natural leather wax or conditioner sparingly once or twice a year to preserve moisture and maintain the original patination.
