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, also known as a Captains chair, is a traditional 19th-century English armchair featuring a low, steam-bent curved top rail supported by turned spindles.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from durable hardwoods such as oak, elm, beech, or ash, and were constructed with solid timber seats or fitted leather upholstery.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature turned legs joined by stretchers, traditional wedged mortise and tenon joinery, and natural signs of wear along the armrests and timber frame.

Place the armchair beside a writing desk or position it in a reading nook paired with a modern floor lamp to create an eclectic focal point.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish to the timber frame to prevent moisture loss, and regularly condition the leather seat using a dedicated leather balm.
