Description
A fabulous pair of vintage petite tub chairs featuring sculptural wood frames and rich raspberry-red velvet upholstery. Their compact proportions and distinctive open-frame construction give these chairs an especially chic, architectural presence.
Each chair features a gently curved wraparound back and arms with inset upholstered panels, subtly flared legs, and a generously cushioned seat. The warm wood frames provide a beautiful contrast to the saturated raspberry velvet, while the low profile and graceful lines give the pair an elegant vintage character.
At just 27" wide * 17" deep * 26" high, these chairs are wonderfully versatile. Their petite scale makes them ideal as occasional chairs flanking a console or fireplace, in a bedroom or dressing room, tucked beneath a window, or anywhere a pair of full-size lounge chairs would feel too substantial.
The chairs retain their vintage wood finish and existing velvet upholstery. The frames show scattered scratches, finish wear, and other age-appropriate signs of use. The velvet shows variation in the nap, impressions, and areas of wear consistent with age. They present beautifully as found, while also offering an excellent opportunity for custom upholstery or refinishing.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear to the wood frames and upholstery, as shown in photographs.
Sold as a pair. The velvet displays attractive variation in the nap along with signs of previous use. Wood frames retain their original finish with scattered scratches, finish wear and other age-appropriate imperfections.
