How do I identify a Victorian armchair?

Victorian armchairs often display dark hardwoods like mahogany or walnut combined with deep buttoned upholstery or scroll arms. Look for stylistic cues such as Rococo Revival curves or heavy Victorian proportions. Construction methods from this era typically involve sturdy frame assemblies designed for domestic parlours and gentleman's studies.

Are eighteenth-century chairs different from revival pieces?

Eighteenth-century chairs date from the actual Georgian period and exhibit period-specific joinery and wear. Georgian style pieces made during the Edwardian era replicate these earlier silhouettes using later production methods. Examining the wood grain, interior construction, and tool marks helps clarify the age of the frame.

How should I care for antique upholstery?

Antique upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a soft attachment to remove dust without stressing fragile textile fibres. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent fading on historic fabrics and tapestry covers. Professional textile conservation is recommended for fragile or historic covering materials.
