FAQs

Edwardian tub chairs emerged during the reign of King Edward VII, characterised by a rounded enclosing backrest that merges into the arms, offering a lighter and more comfortable alternative to heavy Victorian seating.

These chairs typically feature a frame constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood, often enhanced with delicate wood carving, stringing, and traditional stuffing with horsehair or springs beneath the upholstery.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-carved detailing rather than cast resin, and signs of age in the wood patina and internal webbing materials.

They can be integrated into contemporary spaces as accent seating by pairing them with minimalist furniture to highlight their historical craftsmanship and distinct silhouette.

Preservation involves keeping them away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming the upholstery with a soft brush attachment, and treating the wooden frame with specialist furniture wax.
