Description
An attractive and good quality 'Smoker's Bow' or 'Captain's' armchair dating from the late 19th century. It has a comfortable wide and deep elm seat with broad arms, turned spindles and turned legs joined by a double stretcher. The rear of the seat is stamped with a number 2.
It is approximately 29" (74cm) high and it is 25" (64cm) wide across the arms. The seat is approximately 20" (51cm) deep and 16" (41cm) high. It has lost a little bit of height as the bottom of the legs have worn over the years.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
