This 19th-century Victorian child's highchair takes the form of a tub chair in warm brown mahogany with woven cane panelling across the curved back and seat. Details include a horizontal safety bar between the arms, an adjustable wooden footrest, and finely turned, outswept legs on the base stand to aid stability, with the two pieces connected by a metal thumbscrew. The dimensions are 95 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 52 cm deep. Today, this piece serves as a decorative antique for display in a living room, hallway or nursery, and can also house a vintage teddy bear or soft toy to add character to a traditional English country house interior.

FAQs

A 19th-century tub high chair is an elevated seating piece featuring a curved, rounded backrest that wraps into armrests, often filled with woven rattan cane and constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak.

These chairs were typically constructed using dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, combined with hand-woven natural rattan cane for the seating panels and brass or wooden security fittings.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, natural wear around the footrest and armrests, hand-woven cane patterns with slight irregularities, and original patination on the timber surface.

While often kept as collector items, these chairs can serve as decorative feature pieces in a modern nursery, hallway, or living space, holding large house plants, vintage stuffed toys, or curated textiles.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent the timber from splitting and the cane from drying out. Periodically clean the mahogany with a soft cloth and beeswax polish, and lightly mist the reverse of the cane with water to maintain flexibility.
