Description from the seller
Three Antique Tub Chairs with Carved Claw Feet – Probably England, circa 1900–1920
Exceptional set of three antique tub chairs, probably of English origin, dating from the early 20th century.
These elegant chairs stand out for their gracefully curved, fully upholstered backrests, which flow seamlessly into the armrests to create the distinctive enveloping silhouette of classic English tub chairs.
Particularly noteworthy are the elaborately carved, curved front legs with decorative claw feet. Their design draws on elements of 18th-century English Chippendale style, which experienced a revival during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
The chairs are especially charming thanks to their beautiful floral velvet upholstery in a softly faded antique rose shade. The intricately woven floral motifs, soft texture, and subtle patina of age give the chairs a distinctive character.
The dark wooden frames and traditional rows of decorative upholstery nails highlight the craftsmanship and historic character of these exceptional seats.
A beautiful, matching set of three with an authentic patina of age and distinctive appeal.
