Seating
Choosing the right upholstered armchair
Upholstered armchairs are as much about proportion as they are about fabric. A well-made frame, supportive seat, and sympathetic upholstery all contribute to how a chair feels and performs over time. Many antique and vintage armchairs have been reupholstered during their lifetime, allowing traditional craftsmanship to be paired with fresh or period-appropriate textiles. This balance of structure and surface makes upholstered armchairs a versatile choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Buying Upholstered Armchairs
Antique upholstered armchairs typically date from the 19th or early 20th century and often feature hand-carved frames and traditional joinery. Vintage examples may be slightly later, with simpler lines or mid-century influences, while still offering excellent comfort and durability.
Upholstery may range from linen and wool to leather or patterned textiles. Some chairs retain older coverings, while others have been professionally reupholstered. Fabric choice affects both appearance and practicality, especially in high-use spaces.
Seat height, depth, and arm width all influence comfort. Compact armchairs suit bedrooms or reading corners, while larger upholstered armchairs work well as statement pieces in living rooms.
