Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Late Victorian button back armchairs are characterised by deep tufting secured with fabric-covered buttons across the backrest, comfortable padded armrests, and exposed timber elements such as turned front legs and spindle supports. Originating in the late nineteenth century, this design prioritised domestic comfort alongside ornate woodwork.

These armchairs were typically constructed with solid hardwood frames made from mahogany, walnut, or oak. The internal upholstery utilised hand-tied steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, and fillings such as horsehair, coconut fibre, and wool wadding.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved or turned wooden legs, often fitted with original brass castors. Look for deep hand-tufted buttoning rather than shallow modern machine quilting, along with joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints visible on the timber frame.

A Victorian armchair can serve as an accent feature when paired with clean-lined contemporary furniture to create visual contrast. Position the piece alongside a minimal side table and sleek standing lamp to highlight its detailed timber spindles and textured upholstery.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a soft brush attachment to remove dust without disturbing delicate weave fibres. Treat wooden components with natural beeswax polish to maintain moisture in the timber, and position the armchair away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or fading.
