This large and impressive Edwardian tapered-legged armchair stands well and looks great. Its oversized proportions make it a perfect chair for reading, lounging, and even storytelling, as it's big enough for two, albeit an extra little one.

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.

FAQs

Edwardian furniture, spanning the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by lighter, more airy designs that moved away from the heavy, dark ornamentation of the Victorian era, often drawing inspiration from 18th-century Sheraton and Chippendale revivals.

Pieces from this period typically feature sturdy hardwood frames made from mahogany, walnut, or beech, often joined with traditional mortise and tenon joints, and upholstered using horsehair stuffing and coil springs for durability and comfort.

Authentic Edwardian items can be identified through period-appropriate joinery, hand-turned wooden legs often fitted with brass castors, and original upholstery tacking or textile wear patterns consistent with early 20th-century manufacture.

Pairing a period upholstered chair with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast, allowing the historic textile and silhouette to serve as a textured focal point within a neutral or monochromatic room scheme.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and consulting a professional conservator for deep cleaning or structural repairs.
