FAQs

Windsor chairs originated in England during the early 18th century, evolving from vernacular woodworking traditions where individual turned legs and back spindles were fitted directly into a solid wooden seat.

Traditional construction typically utilised a combination of timbers, employing dense hardwoods like elm for the carved seat, ash or oak for the bent components and back bows, and beech or fruitwood for the turned legs and spindles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned components, wedge-tenon joinery where the leg extends through the seat, distinct tool marks from adzes on the saddle seat, and natural wear patterns consistent with age.

Pairing the historic wooden texture against a minimalist backdrop or placing it at a modern dining table creates a balanced contrast that highlights the sculptural qualities of the furniture.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the surface with microcrystalline wax rather than modern silicone polishes.
