FAQs

The balloon back style, characterised by its rounded, curved backrest resembling a balloon, gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, offering both ergonomic support and refined elegance.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, often complemented by hand-turned legs and upholstered drop-in or sprung seats.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct tool marks, traditional timber shrinkage, hand-cut screws or joints, and patination consistent with age, distinguishing them from modern machinery-made replicas.

Pairing traditional wooden chairs with a contemporary minimalist dining table creates a striking juxtaposition, balancing historic character with clean, modern lines.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying occasional natural wax polish, and using gentle, professional cleaning methods for the fabric upholstery.
