19th Century Holland & Sons Chaise Longue

19th century
Description

A superb mid 19th century English Chaise Longue by Holland & Sons - London c1840. Raised on 4 turned mahogany legs and the original Cope & Collinson gilt brass cup casters. One back bearing the Holland makers stamp.

The frame is structurally in good solid order. We would recommend replacing the internal fillings on this as the upholstery seems not to have been carried out by a professional. It will also better show the shape of the frame which is more elegant than the current upholstery suggests.

For Upholstery.

This mid 19th-century Victorian chaise longue by Holland & Sons dates from around 1840 and originates from London. The frame stands on four turned mahogany legs fitted with original Cope & Collinson gilt brass cup castors, and one back bears the Holland maker's stamp. The piece is upholstered in a patterned dusty pink fabric featuring deep button tufting along the backrest and a high scrolled armrest on one end. Measuring 81 cm high, 178 cm wide, and 70 cm deep with a 40 cm seat height, the structure is in solid order while the current upholstery requires re-covering. Today, this traditional English Country House seating piece suits placement in a drawing room, bedroom or study as a statement resting chair.

FAQs

Originating from French daybeds, the chaise longue became a staple of Victorian drawing rooms and bedrooms during the 19th century. Designed for reclining and informal relaxation, these long chairs featured a single raised end and integrated backrest, often referred to colloquially as fainting couches.

Victorian upholstered seating typically incorporated solid timber frames made from mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Internal construction relied on hand-tied steel coil springs, jute webbing, and natural fillings such as horsehair and wool, finished with brass castors on the turned legs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved framework, solid timber joinery, and brass castors that may carry maker stamps on the caps or leg stampings. The underside often reveals hand-stitched webbing and original iron screws rather than modern machine-made fasteners.

A chaise longue works effectively at the foot of a bed, within a deep window bay, or alongside a hearth in a living space. Pairing traditional tufted upholstery with modern lighting or contemporary artwork creates an engaging contrast between historical and modern design elements.

Clean fabric using a soft brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum cleaner to prevent dust buildup. Keep timber legs away from direct heat sources to prevent wood splitting, and consult a specialist conservator for any necessary structural or fabric restoration.
