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 19th-century library armchair is a form of deep lounge seating engineered for extended reading and study. Characterised by robust timber frames, deep-buttoned leather upholstery, padded armrests, and turned wooden legs, these pieces were designed to offer both physical support and visual presence within private studies and gentlemens clubs.

Chairs from this period typically feature solid hardwood frames made from mahogany, oak, or walnut. Upholstery generally consists of hide leather held with brass studwork, supported internally by steel coil springs, natural hair, and jute webbing.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-construction, including hand-carved turned legs, hand-driven brass upholstery tacks, and traditional frame joinery such as mortise and tenon joints. Original castors are often stamped by Victorian brass founders, and the leather displays natural patina, surface crazing, and hand-stitched detailing.

Integrate the chair into a contemporary space by positioning it alongside minimalist side tables, modern brass floor lamps, or neutral textured rugs. The warm tones and structured silhouette of the leather create a grounded contrast within clean, modern architectural settings.

Maintain the hide by regularly dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying a specialist leather conditioner annually to prevent drying or cracking. Keep the chair positioned away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to avoid fading and timber shrinkage.
