The patterned fabric brings traditional pattern into a modern home, while the classic frame offers sturdy support for daily seating.

FAQs

Armchairs produced by James Shoolbred & Co. during the late nineteenth century are known for their sturdy internal joinery, deep coil-sprung seating, turned timber legs, and high-standard upholstery designed for domestic comfort.

Chairs from this era typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or beech, coil springs, horsehair filling, webbed bases, brass castors, and woven cotton or wool upholstery fabrics.

Authentic period armchairs frequently feature stamped makers marks or metal plates on the rear legs or castors, original turned timber legs with threaded brass castors, and hand-stitched upholstery webbing.

A patterned period armchair can serve as an accent piece alongside contemporary neutral sofas, paired with a minimalist side table and targeted reading lighting to contrast classic craftsmanship with clean modern lines.

Fabric covers should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and gently vacuumed with a soft brush attachment, while the turned wooden legs can be treated with natural beeswax to maintain the finish.
