Advice on chair back springs

I have just bought a fabulous armchair and am going to have a go at making good again.
I have stripped it down but on the back I have found just 3 springs at the bottom.
I am an amateur at this but these don't look right to me.
Does anyone have any advice of what should be there, maybe more springs or maybe none at all.

I dont know a lot about antique furniture but that dosnt look correct to me either. Hopefully one of the experienced furniture trimmers on here can help. @kl4bidn Is really knowledgeable with this stuff.
Also there are some good books on amazon for furniture upholstery that might be worth looking at.

@john @sara.hughff Never got the notification. That is for lumber comfort. You could problem take it or leave it. A before photo would help but you probably finished this chair by now. Lol.
