FAQs

A Victorian button-back armchair is a traditional seating style characterised by deep tufting on the backrest, designed during the 19th century to provide both ergonomic support and formal elegance.

These chairs typically feature a sturdy timber frame made from hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, traditionally stuffed with horsehair, wool, and straw over a complex system of coil springs.

Authenticity is identified through hand-turned wooden legs, brass castors, traditional hand-stitched upholstery techniques, and appropriate timber oxidisation and wear consistent with the period.

Pairing a period armchair with contemporary or minimalist furnishings creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the classic silhouette and textured upholstery to serve as a focal point.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and professional cleaning for the upholstery.
