The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century armchairs often feature heavy solid wood construction, hand-carved decorative motifs such as zoomorphic arm terminals, turned front legs, and splayed back legs, typically fitted with brass castors.

Frames were typically constructed from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, while interior padding relied on horsehair, burlap, and steel coil springs beneath woven wool or velvet upholstery.

Authentic period armchairs show evidence of hand-carving irregularities, original joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, original brass castors with appropriate wear, and age-related patination on the timber.

A carved period armchair serves as a focal point in a contemporary setting when upholstered in light or neutral textiles, offsetting the visual weight of dark carved timber against clean, minimalist architecture.

Timber frames should be dusted regularly and lightly waxed with beeswax to protect the finish, while fabric upholstery benefits from gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment away from direct sunlight.
