FAQs

A comb back Windsor chair is a traditional seating design characterised by a low hoop or bow frame intersected by an upright crest rail that resembles the teeth of a comb, extending from a solid wooden saddle seat.

These chairs typically combine multiple timber species, such as an elm or ash seat, ash spindles, and a yew or beech bow, utilizing pegged mortise-and-tenon joints without glue to allow for seasonal wood movement.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved adze marks on the saddle seat, irregular tool chatter on the turned legs, hand-split spindles, and natural oxidisation and wear patterns consistent with age.

Pair the chair with minimalist or contemporary furnishings to create a striking contrast of textures, using its sculptural wooden silhouette as an accent piece in a living room or study.

Maintain the wood by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive heat fluctuations, occasionally treating the surface with microcrystalline wax to nourish the historic finish without sealing the pores.
