This late Victorian armchair is a comfortable seat covered in grey herringbone tweed fabric. The piece displays a deep-buttoned backrest, padded armrests, and turned mahogany front legs fitted with brass castors. Additional details visible include dark wooden carved supports under the arms and the included matching footstool. Measuring 88 cm high, 72 cm wide, and 78 cm deep, the chair works well as a reading seat in a living room, study, or traditional bedroom. The upholstery remains in good order throughout the chair and the accompanying footstool. The compact proportions suit relaxed interior settings alongside other classic furniture pieces. Buyers seeking an authentic period chair for daily use will find this model suitable for traditional residential spaces.

FAQs

Late Victorian armchairs from the late 19th century are defined by their emphasis on comfort, deep button-tufted upholstery, turned wooden legs, and heavy solid timber frames, frequently fitted with brass castors.

These chairs were crafted using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak for the frame and legs, filled with horsehair and coil springs, and finished with brass castors and natural woven textiles or leather upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned hardwood legs, hand-tied coil springs within the seat, brass or iron castors often stamped by the maker, and original deep-buttoning technique visible on the backrest structure.

A Victorian armchair can be integrated into contemporary spaces by placing it in a reading corner, study, or living room, paired with clean-lined modern lighting and neutral colour palettes to contrast its rich texture.

Vacuum the upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, keep the chair out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and polish the turned wooden legs with natural beeswax.
