FAQs

Smokers bow chairs, also known as low-back Windsor or captains chairs, originated in 19th-century Britain as sturdy seating commonly found in public houses, smoking rooms, and farmhouses.

These chairs typically feature a combination of native British hardwoods, most commonly elm for the carved saddle seats, alongside ash or beech for the bentwood bows, spindles, and turned legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction methods such as wedged through-tennong joints, hand-turned components with subtle irregularities, and natural patina resulting from decades of oxidisation and wear.

This seating pairs effectively with rustic wooden dining tables or functions as a standalone desk chair, introducing warmth and historical character to contemporary minimalist or transitional spaces.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, feeding the timber periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the finish without sealing the pores.
