Product Details

Description

Discover the elegance of timeless craftsmanship with this meticulously restored antique Victorian mahogany chaise lounge, an exquisite addition to any sophisticated interior. Painstakingly stripped back to its original wooden frame, this piece has undergone a complete and traditional reupholstery process, ensuring both its historical integrity and long-lasting durability.

Every element of this chaise has been expertly restored: the mahogany frame has been carefully repaired. During the upholstery restoration, new webbing was used, and the many springs were carefully installed one by one and lashed together by hand using traditional upholstery techniques to create a durable and lasting spring unit base. New fillings were used, which meet all current fire safety regulations. This dedication to traditional craftsmanship ensures the piece’s longevity and comfort, making it a truly timeless addition to your home.

The highlight of this restoration is the bespoke patchwork upholstery, crafted from four distinct types of Harris Tweed. This luxurious fabric, renowned for its durability and rich texture, adds a contemporary flair to the chaise while honoring its classic Victorian design.

Stevenson and Soames are proudly endorsed by the Guild of Master Craftsmen for outstanding craftsmanship. This chaise lounge is not just a piece of furniture, but a testament to superior quality and artisanal skill. The chaise retains its four original casters, one of which has a charmingly wonky squeak. While I could have replaced the casters with new ones, I felt this quirk added to the piece's authenticity and character, enhancing rather than detracting from its overall quality and age.

The intricate mahogany detailing perfectly complements the rich, earthy tones of the Harris Tweed, making this a one-of-a-kind statement piece.

Ideal for the discerning collector or interior designer, this unique piece of history has been reimagined for modern elegance, offering unparalleled style and sophistication for your living space.

Condition report:

Overview:
This antique Victorian mahogany chaise lounge has been meticulously restored to a high standard, preserving its historical authenticity while enhancing its comfort and durability. The piece exhibits a combination of original features and modern restorations that uphold its status as a timeless, high-end furniture item.

Frame and Structural Integrity:
- The chaise lounge's mahogany frame is in excellent condition, having been carefully repaired and stabilised to maintain its original structure. No visible signs of woodworm or rot were found, and any minor damages have been expertly addressed to ensure the frame's strength and longevity.
- The frame’s intricate wooden detailing is intact, showcasing the craftsmanship typical of the Victorian era. The wood has been cleaned and polished to enhance its natural grain, with minimal wear consistent with its age.

Upholstery and Stuffing:
- The chaise lounge has been completely reupholstered using four distinct types of Harris Tweed, creating a bespoke patchwork design. The fabric is new, unworn, and in pristine condition, known for its durability and luxurious texture.
- During the upholstery restoration, new webbing was installed to provide a firm foundation. The springs were carefully installed one by one and lashed together by hand using traditional upholstery techniques to form a durable spring unit base. This method ensures both comfort and longevity.
- New high-quality fillings have been used throughout, and these materials meet all current fire safety regulations, providing peace of mind and compliance with modern standards.

Casters:
- The chaise retains its four original casters, which are in good functional condition. Notably, one caster has a slight wobble and emits a charming squeak. This minor quirk adds to the piece's authenticity and character, reflecting its history without detracting from its quality or function.

Additional Notes:
- Stevenson and Soames are endorsed by the Guild of Master Craftsmen for their outstanding craftsmanship, further validating the high quality of the restoration work undertaken on this chaise lounge.
