Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Ring-turned mahogany front legs: late Victorian turned work.
Deep-buttoned spoon backrests: hand upholstery typical of late nineteenth-century seating.
Small brass cup castors: original fittings suited to late Victorian parlour furniture.
Creasing and fine crazing in the leather: decades of natural use and handling.
Gentle wear to timber mouldings on the arm supports: honest age.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

This pair of Victorian armchairs from 1880 comprises a matching 'His and Hers' set upholstered in green leather with deep buttoning, dark mahogany open outswept padded arms, and brass studded trim. The frames stand on turned front legs fitted with brass castors, showing natural wear to the timber finish and leather surfaces. Each chair measures 91 cm high, 63 cm wide, and 83 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a gentleman's library, a study, or a traditional living room, these armchairs provide comfortable fireside seating. The rich green upholstery contrasts with the warm tones of the mahogany wood, while the substantial high-back design offers full support for daily relaxation.

FAQs

Victorian His and Hers armchairs are a traditional paired seating arrangement introduced in the 19th century, where the gentlemans chair features a higher back and armrests, while the ladys chair has a slightly lower back and lower or open arms to accommodate full skirts of the era.

Authentic 19th-century armchairs were constructed using solid timber frames such as mahogany or walnut, stuffed with natural horsehair or fibre, supported by coil springs and hand-stitched webbing, and finished with deep-buttoned leather or heavy upholstery fabric.

Authentic pieces feature solid wood frames with hand-carved details, original brass castors attached to turned front legs, hand-tacked metal studs along the upholstery edges, and genuine deep-tufted buttoning rather than modern shallow moulding.

These armchairs can be incorporated into contemporary spaces as accent seating alongside minimalist contemporary tables, integrated into traditional study layouts, or used to anchor a fireside seating arrangement in a modern country home.

To preserve antique leather, keep the seating away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or cracking, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a specialized natural leather balm periodically to maintain flexibility.
