FAQs

Late Victorian armchairs typically feature robust proportions, sprung seats, and scrolled armrests, reflecting the comfort-focused manufacturing developments of the late 19th century.

These frames were generally constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or beech, utilising traditional joinery, coiled metal springs, and natural stuffings like horsehair, secured with hessian and twine.

Authenticity is identified through hand-turned wooden legs, brass castors, traditional hand-tied coil springs beneath the hessian, and characteristic joinery methods consistent with late 19th-century cabinet making.

An exposed frame offers a blank canvas for custom upholstery, allowing it to be paired with contemporary bold patterned fabrics or textured linens to create a bridge between historical form and modern aesthetics.

The exposed wood should be cleaned with a soft cloth and nourished with appropriate furniture wax, avoiding harsh chemical strippers that can damage the historical patina of the timber.
