FAQs

The tub armchair originated in the 18th century, featuring a rounded, enclosed back and sides designed to protect sitters from drafts in large, poorly heated rooms.

Traditional construction typically involves a hardwood frame made from timber such as beech or mahogany, supported by coil springs and traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, finished with textile upholstery.

Authentic pieces are identified by hand-tied coil springs, traditional joinery methods in the wooden frame, hand-stitched upholstery edges, and signs of age-related wear to the timber and fabric.

Tub armchairs work well as accent seating in living rooms or studies, paired with a floor lamp and a small side table to create a focused reading corner.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and professional cleaning for textile maintenance.
