The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian tub chair is defined by a low-profile design with a continuous, rounded backrest that wraps around to form the armrests. Typically constructed with solid timber frames, they feature dense padding, deep button tufting, and carved wooden legs on castors.

19th-century Victorian upholstered chairs were crafted using solid hardwood frames such as walnut, mahogany, or oak. The internal upholstery utilised steel coil springs, natural hair or fibre filling, and heavy textiles like patterned damask, velvet, or brocade, finished with brass castors.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved timber legs, original brass ceramic castors, hand-tied spring systems, and deep button upholstery. Signs of age on the timber underside and traditional joinery methods like mortise and tenon joints also confirm authenticity.

A pair of tub chairs can be arranged opposite a sofa to establish a conversational area or placed as accent seating in a bedroom or bay window. Their rounded silhouette contrasts well against contemporary straight-lined furniture.

Upholstery should be vacuumed regularly using a low-suction soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up. Wooden legs should be polished with natural beeswax, and the chairs should be placed away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric discolouration.
