Description

This is a fine quality antique English Victorian mahogany chaise longue, circa 1850, which is in good condition, but would benefit from being re-upholstered.  The Victorian chaise longue features a left-hand raised long sweeping deep buttoned upholstered arm, boasting a fine quality scroll carved arm and back rail, which unites the seat.  A bolster cushion is present.  The front seat frame features a straight moulded frieze, with a decorative scroll-carved pediment at the foot of the chaise longue.  The arm and backrest are solid in joint.  The mahogany turned legs are decorated finely carved floral tulips and raised on the original brass castors.

 

The mahogany chaise longue has been upholstered in a mushroom colour velvet upholstery at some point in the recent past and finished with matching braiding.  Although the upholstery is presentable, there are old use marks and minor fading, with some frayed braiding.  The Victorian chaise longue would therefore benefit from being re-upholstered in our opinion.  The stuff over seat is firm but comfortable to sit on; you do not sink into the chaise.  The chaise has been upholstered with foam fillings.  The underside of the chaise features black cotton backing material.  The Victorian chaise longue frame boasts a stunning mahogany colour, having been cleaned and professionally French polished by hand in our workshop.

The chaise longue, translating to long chair in French, gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as a symbol of domestic luxury and leisure, often utilised for resting or receiving close visitors.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a solid mahogany or walnut frame, hand-carved details, traditional coil spring upholstery, horsehair stuffing, and button-tufted fabric finishes.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails or traditional wood screws, hand-turned timber legs, aged patina on the brass castors, and hand-stitched upholstery webbing.

This seating piece functions well as an accent in a living room or study, paired with complementary neutral textiles, minimalist lighting, and modern rugs to balance the heavy period woodwork.

Protect the timber from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent cracking, vacuum velvet gently with a soft brush attachment, and treat the polished wood surfaces periodically with traditional beeswax.
