Our advice Buying Guide
Do antique Victorian chairs go well in a bedroom?
Antique Victorian chairs go well in a bedroom when used as stand-alone pieces, perhaps paired with a reading lamp or decor elements like throw pillows or blankets. Victorian armchairs are traditionally heavy, wooden, carved chairs with ornate, tufted cushioning.
For a modern bedroom, think about using a slipcover over the Victorian chair to tone down its heavy look. However, if you want to capitalize on the luxury of Victorian chairs by baring it all, pair with existing decor by selecting a Victorian chair with upholstery colors or patterns that complement other elements of your bedroom.
If you have a more eclectic style, mixing lots of different design eras, you can use a Victorian chair as a focal point in your bedroom by purchasing a contemporary white vanity table with a mirror for it to sit next to. With such an elegant silhouette, an antique Victorian chair is a statement piece in your bedroom.
Are antique Victorian chairs difficult to maintain?
An antique Victorian chair needs regular but basic maintenance to preserve its durability and attractive finish. The main thing you should do is regularly dust your antique chair with a soft brush. Make sure you avoid cleaning your antique Victorian chair with water, especially if the model has an unfinished wood frame.
If you need to clean stains from upholstery, or stubborn grime from sealed wood, mix a mild detergent in distilled water. Dab the furniture gently, and avoid scrubbing or rubbing the wood in a hard motion. This could strip the chair of its natural oils and leave it exposed to the elements, as well as staining the furniture a different color to the rest of the design.
Once you’ve gently dabbed the chair, pat the areas you’ve cleaned dry, ensuring you do it gently with distilled water.
