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 Victorian open armchair is a 19th-century seating design featuring padded armrests supported by visible wooden uprights rather than fully enclosed upholstered sides. These pieces often incorporate curved scroll backs, deep buttoning or patterned textiles, and turned wooden legs.

Victorian armchairs were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood for the frame. Interior padding traditionally utilised horsehair, coconut fibre, and steel coil springs, covered in woven damasks, velvets, or needlepoint fabrics.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-carved turned legs, original brass or iron castors, and period-correct joinery such as mortise and tenon joints. Examining the underside may reveal hand-laced webbing, original spring construction, and natural wood oxidation consistent with age.

A Victorian open armchair functions well as an accent piece in modern living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks. Pairing historical wooden silhouettes with neutral walls or contemporary side tables creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Maintain fabric upholstery by vacuuming gently with a soft brush attachment and keeping the item away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Clean wooden legs using a soft cloth and a high-quality beeswax paste, avoiding harsh chemical sprays.
