Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century regional workshops across East Anglia and the East Midlands, Nottinghamshire Windsor armchairs were crafted by regional chairmakers using locally sourced timber. Recognized by their distinct back splats and bentwood components, these armchairs were designed as durable domestic seating in English country homes.

Windsor armchairs typically feature a solid wooden seat, frequently carved from elm, paired with steam-bent bows and spindles crafted from flexible woods such as yew tree or ash. The legs and stretchers are turned on a lathe and secured using wedged mortise and tenon joints without relying on heavy adhesives.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural timber shrinkage over time, resulting in slightly oval turned legs rather than perfectly round profiles. Additional indicators include hand-saw marks on the seat underside, historic wear to the foot tips, and a layered wax patina in crevices.

A traditional Windsor armchair serves as a standalone accent piece beside a reading lamp or paired alongside clean-lined modern sofas. Its organic wood tones complement contemporary neutral palettes, providing visual warmth and historic texture to modern living spaces.

To preserve yew wood, keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and drying. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year with a soft cloth to protect the finish and maintain the natural patina.
