About the Item

A superb, matched pair of tub chairs by fine furniture maker Arthur Brett, handcrafted to the highest standards of British furniture making. Believed to have been commissioned in the 1980s, these chairs come from a large collection assembled by an owner with a long-standing passion for Arthur Brett’s work. Each chair features a solid cherry wood frame with a deep, rich tone that beautifully contrasts the original navy-blue upholstery; brass stud detailing adds a further touch of classic refinement. The tub silhouette provides an elegant country-house aesthetic while retaining clean proportions that also suit contemporary interiors. The seats offer a sturdy footing and a comfortable, high seating position with excellent back support — the tub form gently hugs the sitter. The pair is well preserved and in excellent structural order, showing only minor age-appropriate surface wear. As a matching pair they are highly versatile: use them together as a focal seating arrangement, place them among other seating, or employ them as occasional chairs in a window nook, study, or flanking a doorway. Their combination of superb craftsmanship, quality materials, and enduring aesthetic makes them equally at home in a traditional English interior or a modern New York apartment. Dimensions Seat height: 55 cm (22 in) Arm height: 65 cm (25.75 in) Condition Structurally sound with minor age-appropriate wear only. Original navy-blue upholstery retains excellent pile and is in remarkable condition. About Arthur Brett Arthur Brett is recognized for producing finely crafted, traditionally constructed furniture rooted in English joinery and material quality. Working with skilled cabinetmakers and upholsterers, Brett’s pieces are known for their refined proportions, attention to detail, and use of premium timbers. Over the late 20th century his work found favour with collectors and private clients seeking the enduring comfort and understated elegance of well-made British furniture. These tub chairs exemplify that tradition — combining practical comfort with the tactile warmth of well-carried wood and original upholstery.
