A classic late 19th-century Victorian smoker's bow armchair featuring a curved, low-set horseshoe backrest with a prominent raised crest rail, supported by turned spindle balusters and swept arm terminals. Upholstered in deep green vinyl with stud detailing along the seat rail, the solid timber frame rests upon robust ring-turned front legs and out-swept rear sabre legs. Originating in Victorian Britain and often referred to as a captain’s or tub chair, this design was widely favored in library studies, administrative offices, and gentlemen’s clubs for its solid, ergonomic craftsmanship and enduring presence.

Dimensions: 67cm W x 79.5cm H

Condition: Displays authentic antique wear consistent with age and use, showing surface scuffs, an honest patina to the timber frame, and noticeable crazing with surface cracking to the green seat upholstery.
