Tub Chair
A tub chair has become a very desirable addition to lounge furniture.
Whilst a tub chair is now regarded as fashion furniture, its history goes back a very long way and these chairrs were extremely popular in such as golf clubs and society mens clubs and hotel lounges in the early part of the twentieth century and between the wars.
Because of their origins tub chairs in the UK, portray a feeling of establishment. A gentlemans choice in a long gone empire, and so the natural choice is leather. Imagine city gentelmen reading the times, sipping a brandy, waited on by butlers in very exclusive gentlemens clubs in late victorian london. Antique chairs from this far off time have a market too.
Leather tub chairs are certainly commonly sought, and a leather tub chair is the most popular of all – but be careful – because leather is a catchall for a lot of different types of animal hide and finishing process, so the resulting quality and look can be massively different. Faux leather confuses this further – with many leather chairs looking authentic even though they are not.
So to be safe – make sure you know exactly what kind of fabric is used.
Modern variants of the classic chair have also appeared in a variety of fabrics from the leather to fabric and velvet and the classic designs have been altered and even extended to become a tub sofa.
So look at tub sofas and also tub swivel chairs too, to see some modern trends.
They come in a variety of colours from black to blue, brown to cream – tub chairs to suit any colour or taste. Even leather chairs are not necessarily the traditional browns.
