Description

If you would like these chairs upholstered please click yes in the upholstery drop down menu. These would require 10 metres of material (5m per chair). You can supply your own or please get in touch and we will send you the list of fabric companies we work with.

All my armchairs have been fully restored, springs, legs, padding etc so these will stand the test of time even if used everyday.

These are a very stylish pair of French tub chairs. What is nice about these is the original stained show wood frame. Most French chairs of this period have had their legs ebonised which was done across France after the death of Napoleon. These look better though for being left. They are neat proportions and will work well in a large number of interiors.

FAQs

A French tub chair is characterised by its rounded, enclosed back and sides that form a continuous curve, offering both enclosed comfort and compact elegance.

These chairs typically feature a solid timber frame, traditionally made from beech or walnut, combined with traditional upholstery methods involving horsehair, webbing, and springs.

Authentic pieces often display hand-carved wooden frames, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, hand-forged or early brass tacks, and age-related patina on the timber.

They can be paired with minimalist contemporary sofas or placed in reading corners to introduce classic texture, historical contrast, and soft curved lines to a room.

Protect the fabric with appropriate treatments, keep timber nourished with natural wax, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading of the upholstery and wood.
