FAQs

A spoonback armchair is a style of upholstered seating popularised during the Victorian era, characterised by a rounded, concave backrest resembling the bowl of a spoon.

Victorian spoonback chairs were typically framed in dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, padded with natural fillings like horsehair, and upholstered in plush fabrics such as velvet or damask.

Authentic 19th-century pieces feature hand-turned wooden legs, original brass castors, hand-tied coil spring upholstery, and often makers stamps or brass plaques attached to the timber frame.

A Victorian armchair can serve as an accent piece in a contemporary living room or study, providing visual depth and soft texture alongside modern minimalist furniture.

Antique velvet should be brushed regularly with a soft-bristled upholstery brush following the direction of the pile and gently vacuumed using a low-suction attachment.
