This English desk chair and occasional armchair dates from the 1930 period in the Georgian style. The piece is constructed from solid mahogany and leather with a warm brown colour, complemented by brass studding along the trim, a loose seat cushion, and a curved tub backrest with vertical seams. The sturdy frame incorporates turned mahogany front legs with square sections at the top and splayed rear legs, showing visible age wear across the surfaces and the tufted cushion. Measuring 82 cm high, 66 cm wide, and 66 cm deep, this armchair is suited for use at a home study desk or as an occasional seat in a library or sitting room.

FAQs

A tub armchair features a curved, continuous backrest that flows directly into the armrests, creating a supportive, rounded silhouette. Historically popular in late 19th and early 20th-century libraries, studies, and clubs, these chairs combine compact structural proportions with upholstered comfort.

Traditional construction typically utilised solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or oak, joined with mortise and tenon timber joints. Upholstery consisted of natural horsehair or fibre padding over coil springs, covered in full-grain hide secured with brass studded trim.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-turned wooden legs, original brass or steel studding, and natural patina across high-wear areas of the hide. The underside usually reveals hand-laced webbing, original wood joinery, and period construction marks rather than modern staples.

Position the piece alongside a contemporary minimalist desk or as an accent seat in a living room to introduce textural contrast. Combining warm, aged leather with sleek metal or pale timber accents balances historical character with modern design aesthetics.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying or fading. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a specialist leather conditioner annually to retain flexibility and preserve the natural patina.
