FAQs

Victorian upholstered armchairs are characterised by their sturdy timber frames, comfortable padding, and often feature turned legs with castors, reflecting the eras focus on domestic comfort and craftsmanship.

These pieces typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or ebonised wood for the frame, paired with traditional horsehair stuffing, coil springs, and heavy velvet or damask upholstery.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the frame construction methods such as hand-cut joints, the presence of traditional stuffing materials, makers marks or stamps, and natural ageing of the timber and brass castors.

An antique armchair functions effectively as a statement piece by pairing its historical texture and rich colour palette with contemporary minimalist furnishings to create a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and treating the exposed wooden elements with appropriate wax or polish.
