About the Item

The "Smoker's Bow" is the chair that all later Windsor chairs were made after. This iconic chair, crafted from the long established skill of English woodworkers, features remarkable hand-turned spindles in the backrest and legs. Built sometime in the late 19th century, the rich, patinated elm used in its construction pairs gracefully with the rich, red leather added later in its life. A classic staple of old English pubs and old world English cottages, the "Smoker's Bow" transforms any space with instant personality and warmth. This piece is in beautiful, fair condition. It is safe to expect warping of wood from its age along with discoloration to the finish and wear. The chair is structurally stable and ready to be used.
