This 19th-century Victorian mahogany tub armchair from around 1870 brings traditional seating to a gentleman's library or study. The solid mahogany frame supports an upholstered tub back featuring deep button tufting in amber brown velvet with matching corded trim. The curved front legs take a shaped cabriole form, terminating in brass castors, while the exposed wooden framework shows a dark polished finish. Solid joints and good original condition with minor contraction cracks define the structure, which stands 93 cm high, 70 cm wide, and 92 cm deep, with a seat height of 38 cm. Placed in a home today, this armchair functions as a reading chair or an accent seat in a living room, study, or dressing area.

FAQs

A Victorian tub chair is a low-backed armchair featuring a semi-circular curved backrest that seamlessly flows into integrated armrests, popularised during the mid-to-late 19th century for comfortable lounge seating.

These chairs were typically constructed with solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair stuffing, deep buttoned upholstery, and carved wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces feature solid hardwood framing beneath the upholstery, hand-carved detailing along the show-wood arms or legs, original brass castors, and traditional deep buttoning secured with twine rather than modern staples.

Position the chair alongside a modern side table or within a reading corner to create a focal point, balancing rich timber tones and velvet upholstery against neutral background walls.

Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, keep the frame away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and nourish show-wood mahogany elements with natural beeswax polish.
