The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Victorian open armchair, frequently influenced by French Rococo and Louis XV fauteuils, features an exposed timber frame with open space between the upholstered padded armrests and the seat. Produced during the 19th century, these chairs were designed for formal drawing rooms and salons.

Victorian armchairs were crafted using dense timber hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, featuring traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Inner seat construction utilised coil springs, hessian webbed bases, and natural hair padding, with legs frequently finished on brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century pieces exhibit distinct dark grain striations characteristic of genuine rosewood, hand-carved frame joinery, and evidence of historical hand-planing on the unpolished underside. Stamped timber marks from cabinetmakers or original brass castors also aid in verifying age.

Place a pair of Victorian open armchairs opposite a modern neutral sofa to create a defined seating area in a living space. Combining carved dark timber frames with simple textured upholstery or contemporary side tables balances historical detail with clean modern lines.

Maintain rosewood frames by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying natural beeswax polish along the grain annually. Keep upholstery and wood away from direct heat sources or intense sunlight to prevent timber splitting and fabric fading.
