FAQs

Originating in ancient Egypt and refined in 18th-century France, the chaise longue became a staple of Victorian drawing rooms during the 19th century. Designed for day-time lounging, these reclining seats provided social seating while maintaining formal decorum, often featuring asymmetrical backs, ornate timber carving, and deep buttoning.

Mid-Victorian chaise longues were predominantly crafted with dense hardwood frames such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood. Internal construction utilised hand-tied steel coil springs, jute webbing, and horsehair padding, upholstered in fine fabrics like velvet, damask, or brocade.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved timber detailing, crisp scrollwork, and natural grain variations typical of walnut. Look for evidence of traditional joinery, brass castors attached to cabriole or turned legs, and original webbed framing on the underside.

A Victorian chaise longue serves as a striking focal point in a master bedroom, bay window, or formal living space. Neutral-coloured upholstery allows the piece to seamlessly bridge traditional architecture with contemporary textiles and minimalist decor.

Keep the timber frame away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and fading. Clean the wood using a beeswax polish applied with a soft cloth, and clean upholstery with a gentle brush vacuum attachment to prevent dust accumulation.
