What periods do these chairs come from?

The pieces span the mid-nineteenth century through the Edwardian era, with significant representation from the Victorian period. You will find specific dates ranging from the eighteen-fifties up to the nineteen-twenties. Cabinet makers and manufacturers of these decades produced diverse styles, from French Empire and Neoclassical designs to sturdy English oak and mahogany office seating.

What woods were used for these chairs?

Makers relied predominantly on dense hardwoods such as mahogany, golden mahogany, walnut, and solid oak. Satinwood and rosewood also appear on specific continental and formal examples. These timbers provided the structural strength necessary to support mechanical swivel actions and heavy daily use in offices and libraries.

How do I care for the leather upholstery?

Period leather upholstery benefits from gentle cleaning and occasional conditioning to maintain its flexibility and colour. Avoid placing antique seating in direct sunlight or near heat sources that might dry the hide. Keeping the brass studs and iron swivel mechanisms clean will help preserve the moving parts of a nineteenth-century desk chair.
