Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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 Captains chair, often termed a smokers bow, is a low-backed wooden armchair characterized by a rounded horseshoe-shaped rail supported by turned spindles and a solid contoured seat.

Victorian Captains chairs were typically constructed using native hardwoods such as oak, elm, ash, and beech, with seats often carved from a single piece of dense elm wood.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned spindles, wedged joinery visible on the top rail, natural timber wear patterns around the armrests and seat edges, and evidence of original wood shrinkage.

These chairs function well as statement desk seating in a home study, occasional seating in a hallway, or grouped around a rustic dining table.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, clean periodically with a soft dry cloth, and apply high-grade beeswax twice a year to preserve the surface finish.
