If you're in need of chairs that can complement a contemporary setting, then consider getting Victorian folding chairs. They aren't just valuable antique furniture, but they're also great for myriads of applications. As there are dozens of aspects you need to consider when buying Victorian folding chairs, this guide will give you an outline of the decisions you need to make to maximize your investment.
In the past, Victorian folding chairs were only made out of oak wood, cherry, teak, and mahogany. Now they're reproduced using various kinds of materials.
Your best options in terms of the frame materials are:
- Solid Wood - Wooden Victorian chairs are still best if you are after a classic, yet sophisticated look. They make for great seating within dining and living spaces. As they're made of hardwood, they offer exceptional tensile strength and durability.
- Metal - Metal Victorian folding chairs have the beautiful silhouette of the original versions but they're made of more durable materials. They're your best options if you want chairs that can withstand rough daily use. They are great for outdoor and indoor use as well. As they stand up to all the rigors of constant use, you can expect them to resist any beating, including scratches and dents.
- Weight Capacity. All Victorian folding chairs are built with durability in mind, but there are options that are a lot sturdier than others. Although weight capacity won't be the deciding factor when you purchase chairs, it is certainly something that you need to consider as you make a choice.
- Storage. One of the benefits you can enjoy with Victorian folding chairs is space conservation as they can be folded and stored in closets. However, that means you need to consider the size of where you'll be storing the seats.
If you will be purchasing several units, a folding chair cart would make sense. It is designed to hold several heavy seats at a time. Since it has casters, you can easily stow away your Victorian folding chairs in your storage room.
If you'll be purchasing antique Victorian folding chairs instead of reproduced units, it is crucial for you to remember the following tips:
- Just because you're going to purchase vintage furniture doesn't mean you will get excellent quality. Avoid Victorian folding chairs that are made with poor workmanship and inferior materials. It is a good idea if you research the specific chair you're eyeing before you press that "buy" button or make a bid at an auction.
- Consider getting gently used Victorian folding chairs, especially if you want your chairs upholstered. The reason behind this is because it isn't cost-effective if you refurbish upholstered furniture. DIY upholstery may be something you don't want to impose on yourself either.
- While it's important that you look for Victorian folding chairs that were only gently used, don't let a minor scratch put you off. The market has tons of products that can fix a minor flaw.
