FAQs

Late 19th-century upholstered armchairs typically feature deep sprung seats, rolled arms, and a low profile designed for comfort, often reflecting the arts and crafts or late victorian aesthetic.

These chairs were traditionally built with a solid hardwood frame, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy woven textile or velvet upholstery secured with brass tacks.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods, makers stamps or paper labels on the wooden frame or webbing, hand-forged or brass castors, and period-appropriate textiles.

Pairing a patterned antique armchair with minimalist contemporary furnishings adds textural contrast and historical depth to a modern living space.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and professional dry cleaning for the fabric.
