We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

This pair of nineteenth-century English Country Windsor armchairs exemplifies traditional craftsmanship in burr yew and elm. Each chair has a low hooped back featuring a burr yew pierced central splat flanked by numerous turned spindles. The outsplayed arms rest on turned supports above shaped elm saddle seats. Ring turned legs are united by curved crinoline stretchers, creating a sturdy and cohesive framework. The timber exhibits a warm brown colour with rich patina and striking visual consistency. Measuring 91.4 cm high by 57.2 cm wide and 48.3 cm deep, these armchairs offer comfortable seating proportions. They suit placement around a dining table or as accent seating in a traditional or eclectic interior.

FAQs

A Windsor armchair is a form of solid wooden seating where the back legs and spindles are anchored directly into drilled socket holes in a solid timber seat, a style originating in Britain during the early 18th century.

English Windsor chairs were typically crafted from a combination of native regional hardwoods, using dense elm for the contoured seat, alongside steam-bent yew or ash for the hoop back and turned legs.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-turned spindles, steam-bent wood back bows, wedged tenon joinery visible beneath the seat base, and natural surface patination from long-term wear.

Windsor armchairs can be paired with a clean-lined contemporary dining table or placed individually as accent seating alongside minimalist decor to introduce organic warmth and historical texture.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry cloth, apply a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and avoid positioning the timber near direct heat radiators or damp areas.
