19th-century Chaise Longue Attributed to Miles and Edwards

19th century
Description

An English chaise longue, circa 1830–1850, attributed to Miles and Edwards.

Of compact proportions, with a tall reclining back and rolled top, a single padded arm supported by an open wooden scroll, and a long upholstered seat. Raised on turned front legs and swept rear legs which have faux graining although faded and all legs retain the original brass castors, one has been repaired.

An impressed ‘JH’ stamp is present on the frame.

Offered for reupholstery, with the underlying hessian and stitched upholstery exposed. The frame is sturdy, with age-related surface wear and evidence of previous upholstery work.

FAQs

A chaise longue is an elongated upholstered armchair designed for lounging, which gained prominence in Europe throughout the 19th century as both a luxury seating option and a architectural interior accent.

Frames were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, filled with jute webbing, horsehair, and coiled steel springs, and wrapped in natural hessian canvas.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved mahogany components, original stamped brass castors, hand-stitched horsehair upholstery layers, and occasionally maker stamps or inventory numbers stamped into the timber frame.

A classic chaise longue works effectively positioned alongside full-length windows, angled within a spacious bedroom, or placed within an eclectic living space to add historical texture against clean modern lines.

Timber elements should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned using natural beeswax, while keeping the structure away from direct heat sources and damp to avoid timber movement.
