FAQs

Nineteenth-century deep-seated armchairs are characterized by low-slung frames, extended seat depths, scrolled arms, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. They prioritize lounge comfort and traditional upholstery techniques.

These frames were typically built using kiln-dried hardwoods such as beech or mahogany. The internal upholstery layers relied on hand-tied steel coil springs, jute webbing, burlap hessian, and natural stuffings like horsehair and fibre.

Authentic period armchairs feature mortise and tenon timber frame joinery, stamped brass castors, hand-stitched horsehair padding, and evidence of original webbed seat bases.

A pair of traditional armchairs can be re-upholstered in contemporary fabrics such as slubbed linen, wool boucle, or deep velvet to create a balanced contrast alongside modern minimal furniture.

Timber legs should be waxed with clear beeswax, while castors should be kept clean and lightly lubricated. Traditional spring and stuffing layers should be preserved during re-upholstery rather than replaced with synthetic foam.
