HISTORY: During the late Victorian era, oak furniture really stole the spotlight thanks to the Arts and Crafts movement’s love for natural materials and handmade beauty. Oak chairs from this time often feature charming carvings and solid builds. The needlepoint upholstery is a nod to serious craftsmanship and fine detail. Floral patterns were all the rage, capturing the Victorian passion for nature and fancy décor. These chairs weren’t just for sitting—they were the perfect stylish showstoppers in parlors and sitting rooms.
