FAQs

Club armchairs originated in France during the early twentieth century, though heavily upholstered low-slung lounging seats evolved significantly during the Victorian era in England through renowned makers like Howard and Sons for comfort and status.

Authentic period pieces feature sturdy beechwood or oak frames, traditional hand-tied coil spring systems, horsehair or wool stuffing, and high-grade vegetable-tanned leather secured with individual brass tacks.

Key indicators of authenticity include traditional stuffing materials, hand-stamped brass castors, aged patina on the leather, traditional frame joinery, and makers stamps on the wooden legs or castor housings.

Pair the bold red leather upholstery with neutral architectural backdrops, natural wood flooring, and complementary textures such as wool rugs and brushed brass lighting to balance traditional weight with modern living.

Maintain the leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and periodically applying specialist leather nourisher or beeswax to prevent cracking.
