  • The Rosé Obscura: 20th-Century Parlor Tub Chair

    The Rosé Obscura is a rare 20th-century antique parlor tub chair, restored with thoughtful precision to bring historic craftsmanship into contemporary luxury interiors. Its hand-carved wood frame, marked by a deep natural patina, reflects the artistry of an era before mass production, when furniture was created to endure for generations. Each curve and flourish carries the quiet presence of its history, offering both character and continuity.

    Reupholstered in Black Edition’s Jacinta Rhodonite velvet, the chair has been reimagined as a sculptural statement for refined living spaces. The embossed damask, inspired by polished stones and mineral pigments, reveals a palette of dusky rose, mauve, burnished coral, and earthen undertones. The textile embodies both the permanence of geology and the romance of early 20th-century interiors, bridging natural history with design heritage.

    For interior designers, collectors, and aesthetes, The Rosé Obscura offers more than seating. It is a cultural heirloom, a piece that speaks to anthropology, memory, and continuity while serving as an anchor in refined spaces. Its enveloping proportions invite comfort, while its presence introduces atmosphere and narrative into a salon, dressing suite, or entryway.

    The restoration was approached with restraint, preserving the integrity of the original craftsmanship while allowing the chair’s sculptural form and couture upholstery to bring new life into interiors of quiet luxury. Singular in character and rooted in narrative, The Rosé Obscura remains an heirloom of artistry, memory, and presence.
