FAQs

A smokers bow armchair, also known as a captains chair, is a low-backed wooden seating design originating in mid-nineteenth-century Britain, characterised by a continuous horseshoe-shaped rail forming the arms and backrest.

These chairs were predominantly constructed from regional British hardwoods, using solid elm for the contoured saddle seat due to its grain structure and resistance to splitting, paired with turned beech or ash for the legs and stretchers.

Authentic Victorian examples feature wedged tenon joints visible through the seat, natural wear along the front stretcher rail from foot placement, turned spindle components, and prominent figure patterns within the solid timber.

A smokers bow chair functions effectively as a desk seat, an accent piece in a hallway, or positioned beside a bookshelf, introducing rich timber tones to complement modern neutral colour palettes.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, while avoiding proximity to radiators or direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage.
