FAQs

Nineteenth-century seating encompasses a range of revival styles, heavily influenced by historical periods such as Gothic, Elizabethan, and Rococo, alongside the practical adaptations of the Victorian era.

Cabinet makers typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, oak, and rosewood, often paired with hand-turned spindle work and traditional textiles like velvet or horsehair for upholstery.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction methods, such as hand-cut joinery, patination on the timber, wear consistent with age, and traditional upholstery techniques underneath the fabric layers.

Pairing a period wooden armchair with modern minimalist furnishings creates a balanced aesthetic, allowing the antique craftsmanship to serve as a focal point within the room.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying appropriate microcrystalline wax periodically, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaning agents on the wood and upholstery.
