FAQs

Early 20th-century upholstered sofas often feature generous scroll arms, deep seating, and refined craftsmanship associated with prominent makers like Whytock & Reid, blending comfort with traditional formal elegance.

These pieces typically employ a sturdy hardwood frame, traditional coil spring suspension, horsehair or wool stuffing, and luxurious fabric upholstery such as silk velvet.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber frame construction, hand-tied springs, traditional upholstery stuffing materials, wear patterns on the wooden feet, and maker marks or labels where present.

Pair the rich texture and deep colour of the velvet with minimalist contemporary surroundings, neutral walls, and clean-lined lighting to create a sophisticated focal point.

Protect velvet from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, and consult a professional textile conservator for deep cleaning.
