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

Popularised during the mid-nineteenth century, Rococo Revival furniture drew inspiration from French eighteenth-century Louis XV design. Characteristic features include fluid C-scrolls, carved cabriole legs, and tripartite or balloon back frames tailored for Victorian drawing rooms.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut for the exposed carved frames. Internal joinery relied on traditional mortise and tenon joints, with padding composed of horsehair, jute webbing, and steel coil springs.

Authentic pieces feature dark, rich grain patterns distinctive to rosewood, crisp hand-carved detailing along the rails, and natural age marks on unexposed timber. Look for hand-cut joinery underneath the seat frame and original metal castors on the leg tips.

A Victorian settee functions as a focal accent piece when placed in an entryway, bay window, or living area. Designers often contrast the ornate timber framework by reupholstering the seat in neutral textured fabrics or linen.

Keep the timber clean by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and applying beeswax sparingly along the grain. Position the furniture away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage, and vacuum the fabric upholstery using a soft brush attachment.
