FAQs

Windsor rocking chairs originated in the 18th century, evolving from traditional stick-back seating in rural England before gaining popularity in America and throughout the Victorian era for their ergonomic comfort and sturdy construction.

Authentic period chairs typically combine a solid elm or fruitwood saddle seat with turned beech or ash spindles and legs, utilising traditional wedged tenon joints to secure the components without modern adhesives.

Authenticity is identified through hand-turned tool marks, timber shrinkage patterns, oxidisation consistent with age, peg construction, and the distinctive wear patterns on the wooden rockers and seat.

Place the chair in a quiet corner paired with a textured wool throw or patterned cushion to create a functional focal point that contrasts modern minimalism with historical warmth.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain without damaging the original polish.
