FAQs

Popularised during the Victorian era, button back armchairs feature deep-tufted upholstery secured with buttons in a diamond pattern, combined with padded armrests and turned wooden legs.

These armchairs were constructed with solid timber frames such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, filled with natural horsehair and coil springs, and finished with metal castors.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned wooden legs, original brass or iron castors, traditional hand-stitched webbing, and authentic construction joints beneath the upholstery.

Position the armchair beside contemporary lighting or paired with neutral textiles to highlight its historical form while integrating with modern decor.

Vacuum fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment, protect the piece from direct sunlight to avoid fabric fading, and apply natural beeswax to the exposed timber legs.
