FAQs

Designed during the 19th century for reading rooms and private studies, these armchairs feature deep seats, high padded backs, upholstered armrests, and sturdy mahogany frames engineered for comfort during extended periods of sitting.

Frame construction relies on dense mahogany or oak joined with mortise and tenon joints, whilst traditional upholstery incorporates coil springs, horsehair padding, deep buttoning, and brass castors attached to turned or carved legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved mahogany show-frames, period-correct brass cup castors, evidence of hand-stitching or traditional webbing beneath the seat, and natural patination across exposed timber surfaces.

Position the armchair alongside a contemporary floor lamp and side table to create an eclectic reading nook, or contrast it with minimalist furnishings to allow its carved frame and buttoned velvet to act as a structural focal point.

Dust timber elements regularly with a soft cloth and apply natural beeswax along the grain, while gently vacuuming velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation and fibre matting.
