FAQs

Victorian armchairs are characterised by deep cushioning, robust wooden frames, and often featured sprung seats and button-tufted backs designed for comfort and formal drawing-room aesthetics.

These pieces typically utilised a solid hardwood frame, such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, combined with traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, coir, and hessian webbing over metal coil springs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-turned wooden legs, the joinery methods such as mortise and tenon, hand-forged tacks, and the natural ageing of internal webbing and stuffing materials.

An antique armchair with exposed frame elements can serve as a statement piece in a contemporary setting, especially when reupholstered in a modern textile to create a juxtaposition of old and new.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and internal webbing from drying out, alongside regular gentle vacuuming of any fabric elements.
