​Pair of Antique Elm Captains Chairs

A good quality pair of 'Smoker's Bow' or 'Captain's' armchairs dating from the late 19th / early 20th Century. They have comfortable wide and deep elm seats with turned spindles and turned legs joined by a double stretcher. They are a pleasant mellow colour with a lovely grain on the seats. Both are stamped with the maker's mark W.A to the rear of the seats.

They are approximately 31 1/2" (80cm) high and 20 1/2" (52cm) wide across the arms. The seats are approximately 17 3/4" (45cm) high and 20" (51cm) deep.

They are in good condition for their age. They have developed a lovely patina and are strong and sturdy chairs. They are not without a few small marks and knocks and signs of age and use but no major damages or anything detrimental. There are a couple of historic worm holes which have all been treated as a precaution. They have been cleaned and gently polished and are ready for use.
