FAQs

Victorian furniture design spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is characterised by revival styles, ornate carvings, deep button tufting, and heavily upholstered, comfortable forms designed for parlour and drawing room socialising.

These frames were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, supported by coil springs, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and finished with luxurious textiles like velvet, damask, or brocade.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-tied coil springs, traditional stuffing materials like horsehair or cotton linters under inspection, hand-carved solid wood frames, and minor signs of age such as oxidation on metal tacks and wear to the timber.

Pairing a richly upholstered period armchair with contemporary or minimalist surroundings creates a striking focal point, grounding neutral spaces with textural contrast, historical depth, and traditional craftsmanship.

Protect antique textiles from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction brush attachment, and condition exposed wooden components periodically with appropriate furniture wax to nourish the timber.
