FAQs

Button-tufted upholstery gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, particularly in the mid-to-late 19th century, as a technique to secure padding while creating elaborate geometric patterns.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hardwood frame constructed from timber such as mahogany or walnut, stuffed with natural fibres like horsehair and coir, and secured with hand-tied coil springs.

Authentication relies on examining the frame construction for traditional joinery, assessing the wear and composition of the internal stuffing materials, and checking for hand-carved details and period-appropriate castors.

Pairing a period armchair with minimalist modern furniture creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the historical textures and craftsmanship to serve as a focal point in the room.

Preservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, and consulting a professional conservator for textile cleaning.
