The Parlour chair

A Mahogany 'Balloon Back' Parlour Chair


The Victorian Parlour showcased the homeowner’s possessions and so, was a place where guests were entertained.

Victorian Mahogany Parlour Chairs
Spending on elegance and ornamentation was 'de-rigueur' of the day during Queen Victoria's reign, (1837-1901).

Interiors were noted for their orderliness with houses divided into rooms - with public and private spaces clearly divided.

The Parlour in Victorian times was the most important room in the house - Reflecting the interests and aspirations of its owners...!

The word Parlour can be traced back to the 16th Century.
