FAQs

Originating in the nineteenth century, the leather tub armchair features a rounded back and integrated arms designed to enclose the sitter for warmth and comfort in traditional English interiors.

These armchairs were constructed using solid timber framesoften beech or oakupholstered with hand-tanned horsehair stuffing, steel coil springs, and deep-buttoned natural leather hide.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-stitched leather upholstery, original brass castors on turned wooden legs, hand-tied coil spring webbing, and natural patina showing historic wear rather than artificial distressing.

Pair a deep-toned leather armchair alongside contemporary minimalist furniture, or place it in a reading nook with a modern standing lamp to create a textural focal point.

Keep the leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, vacuum gently along seams, and apply a specialised leather conditioner periodically to maintain flexibility.
