Where should I place a library chair?

These armchairs suit studies, home libraries, and fireside reading corners where comfortable seating is paramount. Their robust timber frames and supportive leather or fabric upholstery handle daily sitting while adding traditional character to a room.

How do I care for leather upholstery?

Keep leather conditioned using appropriate balms to prevent drying and cracking over the years. Avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight to protect the natural tone of the hide. Regular dusting with a soft cloth maintains the surface finish without damaging the grain or the underlying padding.

Are these chairs suitable for a desk?

Desk chairs within this selection offer appropriate height and arm clearance for writing tables and workspaces. Their stable wooden bases provide reliable support during long hours of reading or administration. Many feature supportive backrests and padded armrests designed specifically for seated work.

How do I identify a Louis XVI style chair?

Look for straight tapered legs, often fluted, and geometric framework that departs from earlier curving rococo excesses. The backrests typically form oval, square, or shield shapes with restrained classical carvings. Walnut and mahogany frames frequently display this architectural symmetry.
