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

Originating in the nineteenth century, Victorian tub armchairs are characterised by a low, curved backrest that continuously wraps around the seat to form integrated armrests. They were designed for informal seating in private spaces such as bedrooms, dressing rooms, and libraries.

Frames were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or ebonised timber. Upholstery utilised natural stuffings like horsehair and coir over coiled steel springs, finished in heavy fabrics including velvet, wool, or silk damask.

Authentic Victorian chairs feature hand-turned spindle work, hand-carved detailing, and occasionally brass castors on the front legs. Inspection of the underside typically reveals traditional webbing, hand-tied coil springs, and mortise and tenon joinery.

A Victorian tub chair functions as an accent piece in a living room, study, or bedroom alcove. Pairing dark painted wood and rich velvet upholstery against a contemporary neutral backdrop creates balanced visual contrast.

Velvet upholstery should be vacuumed regularly with a soft brush attachment and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Ebonised timber frames require gentle dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishers that can compromise historic surface finishes.
