FAQs

A smokers bow chair, also known as a captains chair, is a traditional low-backed wooden armchair that gained popularity in 19th-century Britain across pubs, offices, and smoking rooms.

These chairs were typically crafted using native British hardwoods, featuring shaped elm seats alongside steam-bent ash or beech arm rails and turned oak or ash spindles.

Authentic period examples usually feature hand-turned spindles, wedged mortise-and-tenon joint construction, a solid saddle seat, and natural wear to the timber surface.

A smokers bow chair functions well as an accent seat beside a bookcase, paired with a modern writing desk, or positioned in an entryway to add historical warmth.

Regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional applications of natural beeswax polish will protect the timber patina and prevent the wood from drying out.
