FAQs

Steamer deck chairs originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for passengers travelling on ocean liners. They were engineered to fold compactly for storage on ship decks while offering adjustable reclining positions for outdoor relaxation during long sea voyages.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from durable hardwoods such as teak, beech, or oak to withstand maritime elements. The seating area typically featured heavy-duty woven canvas slings or slatted timber panels supported by metal joinery.

Authentic period examples exhibit traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, heavy-gauge steel or brass adjustment hardware, and aged timber with natural weathering. Look for period-correct folding mechanisms and multi-position notch systems along the armrests or frame base.

A vintage steamer chair works as accent seating in sunrooms, conservatories, or covered verandas. Pairing the warm timber and textile sling with modern indoor greenery, natural fibre rugs, and minimalist side tables creates a relaxed, transitional aesthetic.

Keep the wood clean and nourished by applying a suitable furniture wax or natural oil once or twice a year. Store the chair indoors during damp or freezing weather to protect the structural timber and prevent canvas degradation from moisture exposure.
