FAQs

Originating in the 19th century during the Victorian era, the nursing chair was designed specifically for mothers nursing infants. Its low seat height and armless design allowed ease of movement, enabling mothers to sit comfortably close to the fireplace while tending to young children.

These chairs were crafted using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut for the exposed show-wood frames. Original upholstery often utilised horsehair padding, steel coil springs, and fabrics such as velvet, damask, or needlepoint tapestry.

Authentic period examples typically feature hand-carved mahogany or walnut show-wood, a balloon or spoon-shaped back profile, low seat proportions, and turned or cabriole legs mounted on original brass castors. Look for signs of hand-carving and traditional joinery on the underside frame.

Due to its compact footprint and low proportion, a nursing chair operates effectively as an accent seat in a bedroom corner, beside a fireplace, or paired with a dressing table. Reupholstering the piece in modern textured linen or bold contemporary fabric offers a contrast against traditional carved timber.

Timber elements should be waxed periodically with a high-quality beeswax polish and kept away from direct heat sources to prevent wood splitting. Fabric upholstery requires light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and professional specialist cleaning for stains.
