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.

Victorian button back salon chairs were popular mid-to-late 19th-century formal seating pieces designed for receiving guests in drawing rooms. They typically feature spoon-shaped or oval backs with deep tufted buttoning, carved timber frames, and curving arms or low-profile seats.

Frames were crafted from hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often hand-carved with floral or scroll motifs. The upholstery traditionally utilized horsehair stuffing, coil springs, webbing, and rich fabrics such as plush velvet, damask, or heavy woven cotton.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing on the timber frame, original brass or ceramic castors on the front legs, and evidence of hand-stitched webbing beneath the seat frame. The timber often shows subtle patination and wear consistent with age around handrests and leg joints.

These chairs function well as sculptural accent pieces in modern living rooms, bedrooms, or entrance halls. Pairing period timber framing with contemporary paint schemes or contrasting modern textiles creates an engaging juxtaposition between historical craftsmanship and current design.

Dust upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment on low vacuum suction. Timber frames should be dusted with a microfibre cloth and treated periodically with natural beeswax polish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip historical patina.
