FAQs

The chaise longue, translating to long chair in French, evolved from ancient Egyptian and Greek daybeds into luxurious reclining furniture for nobility during the 16th and 17th centuries, later becoming a staple of Victorian and Edwardian parlours.

Traditional daybeds and chaises typically feature a robust hardwood internal frame made from beech or pine, traditionally hand-tied coil spring foundations, horsehair or wool stuffing, and premium upholstered fabric finishes.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the internal framing techniques, hand-carved joinery, traditional stuffing materials, and the presence of period-appropriate wear and textile degradation consistent with early 20th-century manufacturing.

An antique daybed can serve as a sophisticated statement piece in a contemporary setting by pairing it with minimalist side tables, neutral walls, and contrasting accent cushions to bridge historical elegance with modern comfort.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and treating exposed wooden elements with specialised micro-crystalline wax.
