Button Upholstery, often referred to as button tufting, is a traditional upholstery technique in which fabric is secured with evenly spaced buttons to create a deeply padded, quilted appearance. Popularised during the Victorian period, the technique is commonly found on Chesterfield sofas, armchairs, headboards and wall panels. Besides adding decorative elegance, button upholstery helps maintain the shape of the padding while creating a luxurious, timeless aesthetic.
