This matched pair of Victorian tub armchairs, attributed to Charles Hindley and Sons, dates from the 19th century and exemplifies English country house style. The construction combines mahogany frames with turned front legs, swept rear legs, and brass castors that support rounded backs flowing into outward-scrolling arms above shaped seat fronts. One armchair retains its original mustard yellow velvet upholstery with traditional repairs to the seat, while its companion stands partially stripped back to reveal the internal calico padding, exposed wooden framework, and dark brown horsehair stuffing. Each chair measures 74 cm high by 69 cm wide by 79 cm deep, offering low-slung seating dimensions. Positioned together or individually in a living room, study, or bedroom, these armchairs provide versatile seating with distinct historic character. The pairing offers an intriguing project for complete reupholstery, allowing a buyer to finish both frames in a fabric of choice while preserving the maker's design. The sturdy proportions and mobility provided by the castors make them practical for everyday placement around a fireplace or reading corner.

FAQs

Victorian armchairs from the mid-to-late 19th century are defined by their substantial wooden frames, low seats, and padded arms designed for comfort. Makers such as Hindley & Sons produced deep-seated lounge chairs incorporating turned mahogany legs and brass castors.

Frames were typically crafted from solid hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, constructed with mortise and tenon joints. Upholstery layered steel coiled springs, hessian webbing, horsehair, and cotton felt beneath outer fabrics such as velvet, silk damask, or wool.

Authentic pieces frequently bear stamped maker marks, numbers, or metal plaques on the inside of the rear legs or on the brass castors themselves. Inspection of the underside will reveal hand-tied springs, period joinery, and historic timber patina consistent with the era.

Pairing Victorian armchairs with modern side tables creates visual contrast in living spaces or reading nooks. Re-upholstering classic frames in contemporary linen or textured fabrics allows historic silhouettes to integrate seamlessly into modern colour schemes.

Exposed wood elements should be treated with natural bees wax to preserve the finish and patina. Upholstery requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, while original brass castors should be kept clean and lightly lubricated.
