FAQs

Smokers bow armchairs emerged during the 19th century as a robust development of the traditional Windsor chair, commonly used in public houses, homes and offices across Britain.

They were typically constructed using a combination of native British hardwoods, featuring elm for the steam-bent back rail and sculpted seat, combined with beech or ash for the turned legs and spindles.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-turned components, pegged joints, saddle-shaped solid seats, and natural patina resulting from decades of wear and use.

Such pieces provide textural contrast when placed alongside contemporary minimalist furniture, or can complement traditional rustic schemes as a desk or occasional seat.

Maintenance involves keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
