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.

FAQs

A Georgian barrel back armchair is an 18th-century seat characterised by a curved, semi-circular backrest designed to retain warmth and shield the sitter from draughts near open fires.

These armchairs were typically constructed with solid timber frames made of oak or beech, featuring exposed mahogany or walnut legs, stuffed with natural horsehair and wool, and trimmed with brass upholstery studs.

Authentic Georgian armchairs feature hand-carved wooden joinery, splayed rear legs, heavy timber framing, and evidence of hand-cut brass tacks or traditional webbing construction.

Place the armchair as a focal point alongside a contemporary fireplace or within a reading corner, balancing its rich tone and structured profile against neutral walls and minimalist side tables.

Gently vacuum the velvet using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, keep the chair out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and apply beeswax to the wooden legs periodically.
