What are the different Antique Arm Chair Designs?
The Antique Armchair will come in the form of carver arm chair to a more comfortable upholstered wing Chair. They originally would have been stuffed with anything from wool to straw to provide a sort of comfort, but this changed to horsehair in the 17th century. In 1828 techniques changed by adding coiled springs and this made antique armchairs far more comfortable to sit on. This lead to more comfortable overstuffed chair designs that became far more popular so demand was high. This is why you can see more of this style available today. Anything from leather, knot-pile fabric to more fine silk or needlework was used to upholster them. Today, antique chairs mainly get reupholstered using a more simple plain fabric, but done in the traditional manner and by trying to keep as much as the original stuffing as possible. This keeps them as authentic as possible but allowing them to fit in with modern living. Antique armchairs are usually very comfortable, especially if they still have the original removable cushion. They are very well constructed with solid frames as good solid woods were readily available throughout the Georgian and Victorian periods.
