FAQs

Victorian sofas are defined by intricate wood carvings, dark timber framesmost frequently mahogany, walnut, or rosewoodand curvilinear silhouettes including cabriole legs and arched crest rails.

19th-century frames were constructed using solid hardwoods with mortise and tenon joinery. Internal cushioning typically relied on hand-tied steel coil springs, natural horsehair, hessian webbing, and cotton padding.

Look for signs of period craftsmanship, such as hand-carved decorative motifs, original brass castors, hand-cut joinery on the frame, and authentic age-related patina on unpolished wood surfaces.

A Victorian settee can be modernised by reupholstering it in textured, contemporary fabrics such as linen or boucle, creating a contrast when placed alongside modern minimalist coffee tables or contemporary lighting.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage and fabric fading.
