Club chair types refer to a particular design style which has become very popular in the last few decades. The name club chair comes from the gentleman's clubs in early nineteenth century England, where a man would visit his many male friends for a couple of hours in a fashionable club where he could get away from home, visit his many male friends for an hour or two and then go back to his refined butlers' waiting room where he would eat a lavish meal and enjoy a relaxing cigar while listening to the soft music played by the waiters and waitresses in the waiting room. Club chairs were the ultimate comfort symbols of the Victorian age and these elegant looking chairs were available in several different designs. These would include Vintage Club Chairs, Mid Century Modern Club Chairs or Modern Club Chairs .
