This pair of Edwardian his and her chairs comprises one armchair and one side chair, dating from 1910. The frames are constructed from mahogany with a dark finish, complemented by upholstery in a patterned red velvet fabric, and each chair is mounted on brass castors. Details include turned front legs, carved wooden backrest splats with floral or leaf motifs at the top rail, and padded armrests on the armchair. Measuring 101 cm high, 63 cm wide, and 66 cm deep, the pair is presented in great shape for daily interior use. These armchairs suit traditional living spaces, studies, or libraries as comfortable fireside seating or as feature chairs in an English Country House interior. Their matched design allows them to sit together as a pair or in separate rooms around the home.

FAQs

Edwardian parlour seating from the early 20th century typically features refined mahogany framing, lighter proportions than heavy Victorian pieces, turned legs, carved splats, and luxurious upholstery such as damask or velvet.

Craftsmen predominantly used solid mahogany, rosewood, or walnut frames joined with mortise and tenon timber joints, supported by steel coil springs, natural hair stuffing, and brass swivel castors.

Authentic Edwardian pieces usually display turned front legs with original brass castors, hand-carved crest rails or splats, original frame patina, and evidence of traditional upholstery tacking underneath.

Position a pair of Edwardian velvet chairs opposite a sleek contemporary sofa to create visual contrast, or pair them with a minimal side table in a reading corner to accent rich timber tones.

Vacuum velvet upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, polish mahogany frames with natural beeswax, and place chairs away from direct sunlight to prevent timber drying and fabric fading.
