FAQs

Nineteenth-century leather armchairs are characterised by robust wooden frames, deep button tufting, and traditional upholstery techniques designed for durability and comfort.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany or oak, stuffed with natural fibres or horsehair, and hand-stitched leather secured with brass tacks.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-forged fixings, natural wear patterns in the leather, traditional joinery methods, and the presence of period-appropriate castors.

Pairing the chair with contemporary minimalist furniture or placing it in a study creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain antique leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically applying specialised leather balms to prevent drying and cracking.
