How do I identify a Georgian armchair?

Georgian armchairs often display characteristic mahogany frames, cabriole legs, and understated carving influenced by contemporary cabinetmakers. Their proportions tend to be formal and balanced. Leather upholstery on these pieces is typically added or restored, while the underlying woodwork maintains eighteenth-century construction methods.

What is a Gainsborough chair used for?

A Gainsborough chair functioned as a comfortable seat for writing desks or intimate parlour settings during the eighteenth century and subsequent revival periods. The open arms allowed space for wide garments. Today, these chairs serve as occasional seating in studies and libraries, combining formal timber frames with padded leather upholstery.

How do I care for antique leather?

Antique leather benefits from regular dusting with a dry cloth and occasional treatment with appropriate conservation balms to prevent drying. Avoiding direct sunlight and excessive heat protects the hide from cracking. Metal studs require gentle cleaning to prevent tarnishing without disturbing the surrounding leather surface.
