FAQs

The tub chair design gained prominence during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, characterised by a rounded backrest that seamlessly merges into the armrests. These compact armchairs were frequently crafted in mahogany or walnut, featuring classical inlays and used as comfortable seating in private drawing rooms, studies, or libraries.

Nineteenth-century tub chairs were typically constructed from solid dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood. Intricate decoration was applied using contrasting timber veneers like satinwood, boxwood, or fruitwood for marquetry, alongside traditional horsehair padding and woven upholstery fabrics.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut, slightly irregular wood marquetry rather than modern laser-cut veneer. Additional indicators include hand-carved joinery, natural timber oxidation beneath the seat frame, and hand-tacked upholstery attachment along the lower rail.

An antique tub chair can be used as a standalone statement piece in a modern bedroom corner, a home office desk chair, or placed alongside clean-lined contemporary sofas to add historical contrast and warmth to a room scheme.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood veneer from drying out or lifting. Dust the timber regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply high-grade beeswax annually, and clean the fabric using dry upholstery methods.
