FAQs

Victorian armchairs from the 19th century typically feature robust wooden frames made of walnut or mahogany, often showcasing elaborate carvings, turned legs, and sprung upholstery designed for comfort and status.

These pieces were constructed using dense hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, with traditional joinery, hand-tied coil springs, and layered stuffing materials like horsehair beneath Hessian scrim.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps, numbering, or paper labels impressed into the wooden frame, alongside period-accurate construction markers such as hand-cut screws, traditional joinery, and handmade nails.

An unholstered frame serves as a striking sculptural element, blending raw industrial or minimalist aesthetics with historical gravitas when paired with contemporary neutral textiles or left exposed as a statement piece.

Maintain the wood by applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish, keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and humidity sources to prevent timber cracking or deterioration of surviving organic materials.
