FAQs

A smokers bow chair, also known as a captains chair, is a traditional low-backed English armchair popular in the late nineteenth century. It features a continuous curved wooden arm rail supported by turned spindles and a shaped solid seat.

These chairs were typically constructed using solid native hardwoods, combining shaped elm for the seat due to its split-resistant grain, with turned beech or ash for the spindles, legs, and steam-bent bow.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-turned spindles, wedge-tenon leg joints visible on the top of the seat, and natural wear patterns consistent with age, alongside deep figure in the solid elm seat.

A smokers bow chair functions effectively as an accent piece alongside a contemporary desk, within a reading nook, or as extra fireside seating in a traditional or rustic scheme.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding direct exposure to heat sources or excessive humidity.
