How do I identify a Victorian sofa?

Victorian sofas are identified by substantial timber frames, often utilising mahogany or walnut, paired with heavy carving and dark finishes. Styles lean towards ornate upholstery and deep buttoning. Look for structural indicators like carved feet or drop arms that reflect nineteenth-century manufacturing methods.

How do I care for antique upholstery?

Antique upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a soft attachment to remove dust without stressing fragile textile weaves like cotton or damask. Keep fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Professional cleaning is recommended for delicate materials to preserve the original fibres.

Are these sofas comfortable for daily use?

Period sofas utilise traditional padding methods, often incorporating feather inners and coil springs, which provide firm, supportive seating. Comfort levels vary depending on the specific era and internal restoration work. Edwardian and later twentieth-century iterations tend to offer a softer sit than rigid eighteenth-century frames.
