Pub Chair/Smokers Chair
« on: March 14, 2013, 11:50:04 am »
I am trying to get this up as a first post and see how I do !

Looking for any info (age,wood,value etc) on a set of pub chairs.

Have makers mark/stamp on back of seat H.S, I looked for a database but didnt find one.

Need pics of underside and closeups of construction!  Otherwise we can only agree it is a chair!

It helps in determining age, craftsmanship, the answer to your questions.....

Low back Windsor chair or smokers bow. I can't tell the age but they were factory made and used in hotels, restaurants and lodges in the 19th century. The seat construction is not clear but I think I see a place where two boards join. The simplicity makes me think they were machine made for commercial use in the later part of the century. Do not hold me to that as I really need to see the pictures requested.

They are essentially the same chair !! No matter what its called in a given area !!  These were reproduced in great numbers during the 60`s !!  Grandmother had a set,, mother had a similar set !!  Same chair just minor changes in turnings !!  This one may be older but can`t tell til we see additional pics !!  Appears to have had dowel holes in top of arms that do not line up with supports !!

Sorry it took me a bit to get these and get back. I was in a rush and didnt post in the Intro section but the brief rundown is that these and the other items I need to ID are my parents and it has fallen to me to thin things out since they are downsizing.

I do not know exactly where they came from, probably a local dealer in the 70s,possibly an auction. They were used as regular chairs at the house. They are HEAVY suckers and not suited for future use.

I live right outside Washington DC.

I will post all the new pics following, this one is the front.
