This Victorian tub chair dates from 1860 in the Victorian style. The piece uses mahogany, fabric and brass materials with a cream colour finish, and features deep buttoning, turned legs, a curved backrest and brass castors. The chair has ring-turned and carved front legs, swept back legs, and shaped arm supports with carved detailing, alongside a generously upholstered tub-shaped back and arms. It measures 86 cm high, 71 cm wide, and 84 cm deep. Suitable for use in a drawing room, bedroom or reading corner, the chair provides a comfortable seat for a home today. The timber shows a warm brown tone, and the castors include small metal wheels paired with porcelain or brass fittings. The button-tufted backrest creates a diamond pattern across the cream fabric, while the front legs terminate in turned feet above the castors.

Victorian tub chairs are low-seated armchairs featuring a continuous, curved backrest that wraps around the body, widely produced in 19th-century Britain for parlours, bedrooms, and dressing spaces.

Traditional 19th-century armchairs utilised solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, filled with horsehair and coil springs, upholstered in woven fabrics, and supported on cast iron or brass castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-turned or hand-carved timber legs, original brass or porcelain wheel castors, deep diamond tufting secured with fabric-covered buttons, and traditional hand-laced spring construction rather than modern foam padding.

A Victorian tub chair serves as an accent seat in a living room arrangement, a reading corner chair paired with a contemporary floor lamp, or a dedicated dressing table chair in a bedroom setting.

Upholstery requires soft-brush vacuuming and spot cleaning with fabric-appropriate solutions, while polished timber legs and carved arm terminals should be treated periodically with natural beeswax polish to maintain wood hydration.
