FAQs

Nursing chairs originated in the Victorian era, specifically designed with low seats to allow women to nurse infants comfortably while wearing voluminous skirts.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, walnut, or beech, paired with traditional horsehair stuffing and coil springs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tied springs, traditional joinery, timber shrinkage, and aged brass castors rather than modern hardware.

Place the chair in a bedroom or reading nook upholstered in a contemporary textile, contrasting the historic frame silhouette with modern textures.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the wooden frame and upholstery fabrics, using professional cleaning methods when necessary.
