Whytock & Reid was a Scottish cabinetmaking and upholstery firm founded in Edinburgh during the nineteenth century, recognised for high-grade craftsmanship and long-standing collaborations with prominent architects such as Sir Robert Lorimer.

Traditional armchairs from this era feature solid hardwood internal frames, steel coil springs, natural fillings such as horsehair or feather down cushions, and turned or tapered timber legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces often feature makers stamps, brass plaques, or paper labels on the underside or rear legs, alongside distinctively precise timber joinery, heavy hardwood frames, and superior tailoring.

Positioning a pair of deep armchairs opposite a streamlined sofa creates a balanced conversation zone, while pairing them with minimalist side lighting provides a clear textural contrast.

Plump down cushions regularly to retain their shape and volume, vacuum upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, and keep exposed timber legs clean using a natural beeswax polish.
