FAQs

A Victorian button back chair is a low-profile upholstered seat from the mid-to-late 19th century, distinguished by deep button tufting across the backrest. These pieces were designed primarily as occasional, nursing, or slipper chairs for bedrooms and parlours.

Traditional construction features a solid hardwood frame, such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, combined with hand-tied coil springs, webbed support, and natural horsehair padding. The legs are typically turned wood and fitted with brass or ceramic castors.

Authentic Victorian armchairs feature hand-carved turned or cabriole legs, original castors, and substantial wooden internal framing. Inspecting underneath the seat often reveals period coil springs, hessian webbing, and hand-stitched upholstery techniques.

A vibrant velvet button back chair serves as an accent piece when placed alongside neutral contemporary sofas or within a dedicated reading corner. Combining historical silhouette design with vivid upholstery creates visual contrast in contemporary decorative schemes.

Maintain velvet upholstery by gently brushing with a soft velvet brush in the direction of the nap to remove surface dust. Keep the piece positioned away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and attend to spills immediately by blotting carefully with a clean cloth.
