We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This pair of original painted Scandinavian tub armchairs dates from around 1900 in the Gustavian style. Each piece comprises a painted wooden frame finished in pale green with subtle carvings along the cresting and frame, supported by cabriole legs. The upholstered elements consist of cream damask fabric featuring a delicate floral pattern covering the curved tub back and seat, while the exposed woodwork displays a soft green glaze. The chairs measure 77 cm high, 70 cm wide and 69 cm deep, with a seating height of 39 cm, and both arrive in good strong condition with frames ready for a new top cover. Placing these armchairs in a living room, study or bedroom provides comfortable seating that suits classic or country-inspired interiors. The pale green and cream palette integrates easily with neutral colour schemes, while the curved forms offer a practical seating option for a reading corner or fireside grouping. Their compact proportions allow them to fit comfortably into both traditional and modern residential spaces without overwhelming the surrounding layout.

FAQs

Scandinavian painted seating, particularly from the Gustavian era, is characterised by restrained carved detailing inspired by French Neo-Classical and Rococo styles, paired with light-coloured paint finishes designed to maximise ambient light.

These chairs typically feature solid native hardwood frames such as birch or pine, finished with layered chalk or milk paint, and are traditionally upholstered using natural horsehair, coil springs, and silk or linen damask fabrics.

Authentic pieces often showcase subtle pegged joinery, layers of historical hand-applied paint exhibiting natural wear, hand-carved floral or leaf cresting on the rails, and original webbed or sprung seat foundations.

Position a pair opposite a neutral sofa to create a conversational area, or place them symmetrically beside a fireplace or console table to introduce subtle texture and historical contrast into contemporary schemes.

Keep the painted timber away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture, clean delicately with a dry microfibre cloth, and professionally clean the upholstery to preserve the fine fabric fibres.
