FAQs

Captains armchairs originated in the 18th and 19th centuries, commonly used in offices, libraries, and railway carriages due to their sturdy construction and comfortable curved backs.

These chairs are traditionally crafted from a combination of native hardwoods such as elm for the saddle seat, ash or beech for the spindles, and bentwood or maple for the distinctive curved arm rail.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit traditional joinery such as wedged through-tenons, hand-carved saddle seats with visible grain irregularities, and natural patina resulting from decades of wear.

Position the chair as a functional desk seat in a home study or pair it with a minimalist contemporary table to create a deliberate contrast between old and new textures.

Maintain the wood by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive heat sources, applying occasional beeswax polish to nourish the finish, and checking joint stability periodically.
