FAQs

A Windsor chair features a solid wooden seat into which the chair legs and backrest spindles are directly jointed using round tenons, a construction technique originating in England during the early eighteenth century.

English Windsor chairs were constructed using local hardwoods, combining elm for the saddle seat, ash for bentwood steam-hoops, and yew or beech for turned legs and spindles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tooled construction, wedge-tenoned leg joints visible on top of the seat, hand-pierced central splats, and natural wear or oxidisation patterns around footrests and arm terminals.

A single Windsor armchair functions as an accent piece beside a fireplace, positioned at an office desk, or styled alongside contemporary upholstered seating to create textural contrast.

Keep timber seating away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage or splitting, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to protect the original patination.
