FAQs

Victorian button back armchairs are characterised by deep diamond tufting anchored by fabric-covered buttons across the backrest, low-slung padded arms, and turned or tapered wooden front legs often fitted with brass castors.

Traditional Victorian armchair frames were constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut. Internal cushioning typically utilised hand-tied steel coil springs, horsehair, coconut fibre, and hessian prior to final upholstery in velvet, wool, or leather.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-carved solid hardwood frames, original brass castors with stamped makers marks, hand-stitched upholstery under-layers, and signs of aged timber patination on the legs and underside framework.

A Victorian velvet armchair can serve as an accent piece in contemporary living spaces, contrasting soft plush velvet textures against minimalist backdrop walls, stone flooring, or streamlined modern furniture.

Regular gentle brushing with a soft-bristled clothes brush removes dust from velvet pile without crushing the weave. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent colour fading, and professional dry cleaning treatments are recommended for spillages.
