    I have just finished reupholstering a Tub chair, but I'm struggling to date it. I have looked and not seen anything similar. Any one have an Idea?

    Bought in an auction in Nottingham, UK, about 25 years ago (I've only just had time to finish it--lock down bonus)

    Neat chair! Think secessionist 20s-30s.

    "Tub chair".
    I learned a new term today, thanks!
    In my area of the world, they are more commonly called barrel chairs.
    Fantastic upholstery job!

    Thanks for the comments. I was thinking 30’s. The strange thing is the back isn’t symmetrical. Only by 1cm, but made me think it might be a one off. But I’ve struggled to find anything quite like it, that has taken (appropriated?) styling from lots of types.

    I think tub chair comes from bath tub, as they looked like early style baths.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, @Trenant . I like the chair, and the fabric you chose for reupholstery.
