CONDITION REPORT:

The chair is in good antique condition and is solid and sturdy. There is a slight warp to the seat where the timber has naturally settled over time, which is typical of antique solid wood furniture and does not affect its strength or usability.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A smokers bow chair is a 19th-century British vernacular armchair characterised by a low, steam-bent curved back rail, turned vertical spindles, and a shaped saddle seat.

These chairs were traditionally constructed using hardwoods such as solid elm for the seat due to its resistance to splitting, alongside turned ash or oak for the legs, stretchers, and back spindles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned spindles, steam-bent timber rails, traditional wedged joinery techniques, and natural surface wear around the armrests and footrest areas.

A smokers bow chair functions effectively as a focal desk chair in a study, as occasional seating in a hallway, or placed alongside a side table in a reading corner.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the original patination and prevent the wood from drying out.
