How do I care for antique upholstery?

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading and brittle fibres. Regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment removes dust accumulation. Avoid chemical cleaning agents unless tested on a hidden area. Professional textile conservators should handle deep restoration work.

Are castors on antique sofas original?

Original castors typically match the timber and period of the legs to which they are attached. Brass fittings should show natural oxidation and secure mounting pins. Replacement castors are common due to heavy wear over time. Examine the screw holes and surrounding wood for signs of past alterations.

How do I identify a Victorian chesterfield?

Victorian chesterfields display deep button-tufting across the backrest and sometimes the arms. The low wooden legs are typically concealed beneath voluminous upholstery. Internal webbed framing and horsehair stuffing indicate nineteenth-century construction methods. Brass castors beneath turned wooden legs complete the typical arrangement.
