FAQs

Nineteenth-century open armchairs often draw inspiration from earlier revival periods, featuring exposed wooden frames, scrolled arms, and structural stretcher bases designed for both formality and durability.

These chairs are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or oak, joined with traditional mortise and tenon techniques, and finished with hand-applied upholstery and brass tacking.

Authenticity is identified through hand-turned wood components, natural oxidisation on the timber, hand-forged or early machine-cut fixings, and traditional stuffing materials found within the upholstery layers.

Pair the piece with clean-lined modern furniture to create a striking contrast, using its historic craftsmanship and warm wood tones as a focal point in a living room or study.

Keep wooden frames away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking, periodically feed the timber with a quality beeswax, and professionally clean the fabric upholstery using gentle methods.
