(On my website) If you would like these chairs upholstered please click yes in the upholstery drop down menu. These would require 12 metres of material (6m per chair). You can supply your own or please get in touch and we will send you the list of fabric companies we work with.

All my armchairs have been fully restored, springs, legs, padding etc so these will stand the test of time even if used everyday.

FAQs

The Napoleon III style, or Second Empire, flourished in France during the mid-to-late 19th century, drawing inspiration from historical eras like Louis XIV, XV, and XVI while embracing comfortable, bourgeois luxury and innovative upholstery techniques.

These pieces typically feature internal frames constructed from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, supported by complex hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and deep button-tufting finished with decorative gimp braid or brass nailheads.

Authenticity is determined by examining the frame construction, traditional hand-tied webbing, horsehair or organic stuffing materials, hand-turned wooden legs often terminating in castors, and period-appropriate textile wear patterns.

Pairing historically ornate seating with clean-lined contemporary architecture or neutral colour palettes creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the sculptural upholstery and traditional craftsmanship to stand out as focal points.

Preservation requires keeping the pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent textile degradation and wood drying, supplemented by gentle, professional surface cleaning and careful vacuuming using low suction.
