FAQs

Traditional upholstered armchairs typically feature sturdy wooden frames, sprung seats, and padded armrests designed for comfort and durability during the Victorian and Edwardian periods.

These chairs were constructed using hardwood frames such as beech or mahogany, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joints, and stuffed with natural fibres like horsehair and hessian over coil springs.

Authenticity is identified through traditional hand-cut joinery, the presence of hand-forged or early machine-made tacks, timber oxidisation, and traditional webbing patterns beneath the seat.

An exposed frame armchair can be styled as a bespoke statement piece by choosing contemporary fabrics and textures that contrast with the aged timber and exposed internal structure.

Preservation involves applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the exposed timber, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources, and inspecting internal webbing and springs periodically.
