The Windsor chairs, which have been constructed in the late 19th century, are constructed with four turned spindles to the inside of a single piece bar shaped ash moulded back rail, supported by a two further larger supporting back rails, for added strength. The back rails united with the stunning over-sized “penny” shaped seats which are constructed from stunning single-pieces of elm timber, boasting a stunning grain configuration. The pair of kitchen chairs, stand on turned beech legs united by twin sets of turned beech stretchers for additional strength. This makes them ideal for use as everyday utility or kitchen chairs.
This style of chair, which first originated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, were known as “penny seat” Windsor chairs. The pair of kitchen chairs boast a stunning rich colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the seats.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English Victorian Windsor “penny” seat pair of kitchen chairs, are constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, circa 1880, in excellent original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges (e.g., seats, back and legs) but nothing significant considering the age of them. No breaks to the chair frames or the stunning single-piece elm penny seats. The chair joints have been glued; therefore, the chairs are solid in joint. The chair frames have been wax-polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore, the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble. They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
