FAQs

Victorian armchairs typically feature curved wooden frames, often crafted from rosewood or mahogany, with deeply padded upholstery, serpentine fronts, and cabriole legs ending in castors.

Constructed primarily using dense hardwoods such as rosewood, walnut, and mahogany for the structural frame, these chairs utilised traditional joinery, horsehair stuffing, and coil springs for internal support.

Authenticity can be verified by examining the hand-carved details, timber patination, traditional hand-tied coil springs, and handmade fixings or screws consistent with 19th-century manufacturing techniques.

Pairing an antique wooden armchair with modern minimalist furniture creates a balanced eclectic aesthetic, allowing the historical craftsmanship and patterned textile to serve as a focal point.

Maintain the timber by applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the rosewood, and protect fabric upholstery from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fibre degradation.
