An antique button back armchair from the late part of the 19th century upholstered in a patterned coral fabric. The piece includes turned wooden legs to the front and squared legs to the rear, all fitted with original brass castors. The seat has a later filled cushion, and the back is buttoned with rolled arms flanking the sides. The frame remains solid while showing visible signs of wear throughout the fabric and woodwork, making it an ideal candidate for professional reupholstery. The overall dimensions are 89 cm high, 74.5 cm wide, and 80 cm deep, with a seat height of 46 cm. This seating option fits easily into most domestic spaces as a comfortable reading chair in a living room, a statement accent piece in a study, or a practical bedroom seat.

FAQs

Button-back armchairs gained widespread popularity during the Victorian era due to advances in upholstery techniques, specifically the introduction of coil springs. The deep buttoning, or tufting, was originally developed to keep horsehair and fibrous padding evenly distributed across large surfaces.

Victorian armchairs were typically constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as beech, oak, or mahogany. The internal structure utilised steel coil springs, jute webbing, and natural fillings like horsehair and wool felt, finished with turned legs and castors.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-tufted deep buttoning, hand-turned timber legs, and original brass or iron castors. Examining the underside often reveals traditional jute webbing, hand-tied coil springs, and signs of aged timber construction.

A Victorian armchair can serve as an accent piece in a contemporary living space, bedroom, or study. Pairing classic upholstered seating with neutral modern sofas or contemporary side tables creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment removes dust from fabric folds and around buttons. Timber legs should be treated with natural beeswax, while metal castors can be lightly oiled to maintain smooth movement.
