FAQs

Originating in France between 1852 and 1870, Napoleon III furniture blends historical revivalist styles with a strong emphasis on comfort, featuring signature deep-buttoned upholstery, plush fabrics, and dark or ebonised woodwork.

These sofas feature sturdy hardwood internal frames, such as beech, upholstered in plush fabrics including velvet or damask. Construction relies on traditional coil springs, organic stuffing, and turned wooden legs fitted with metal castors.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-tied coil spring construction, organic filling such as horsehair, original brass or iron castors, and hand-stitched tufting across the entire backrest and seating surface.

This style functions as a focal point in contemporary living spaces, where textured tufting and organic curves contrast against clean-lined architectural elements and modern decor.

Regularly vacuum the upholstery with a soft brush attachment to remove dust accumulation, keep the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and address stains promptly using specialized upholstery cleaner.
