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.

Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
