The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Windsor rocking chair is a traditional style of wooden seating featuring a solid shaped seat into which the chair legs and backrest spindles are secured using round-tenon joints, fitted onto curved rockers below.

English Windsor chairs were typically crafted using a combination of regional hardwoods, with solid elm commonly favoured for the shaped seat, ash or beech for bentwood elements, and turned beech or oak for legs and spindles.

Authentic pieces generally display evidence of hand-carved saddle seats, wedge-tenon construction visible on top of armbows or seat tops, hand-turned legs, and natural wear patterns consistent with age along the armrests and rockers.

A traditional Windsor rocker introduces texture and warm timber tones into contemporary living spaces, working particularly well when paired with modern neutral soft furnishings, linen throws, or placed beside a fireplace.

Preserve the wood finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking or joint shrinkage.
