FAQs

The Windsor chair originated in England during the early 18th century, named after the town of Windsor, which served as the trade centre between rural chair makers and London buyers.

Traditional English Windsor chairs were crafted using a combination of woods, incorporating tough elm for the hand-shaped saddle seat, flexible yew or ash for the steam-bent back hoop, and turnings of beech or fruitwood for the legs and spindles.

Authentic 19th-century Windsor chairs feature hand-carved seats showing subtle adze marks on the underside, wedged through-tenon construction, natural wear patterns on the legs, and genuine patination on the armrests.

An antique Windsor chair functions as a striking accent piece alongside contemporary minimalist furniture, or placed in a hallway or reading nook to introduce warmth, organic texture, and historical character.

To maintain antique yew and elm furniture, keep pieces away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking, wipe down periodically with a clean microfiber cloth, and apply a clear beeswax polish annually.
