Superb 19th Century Yew Wood Prior Low Hoop Back Windsor Armchair of Fine Patina

19th century
Description

A superb example of an 19th century (circa 1830) yew wood Prior low hoop back Windsor armchair of excellent patina (colour) probably from the Thames Valley area.

This armchair, being all yew wood with a solid elm seat, consists of a hoop back with scribed edge with three narrow fretted splats with central roundels with alternate spindles leading down to the shaped arms and arm supports.

The well figured solid elm seat supported by turned legs and joined by a crinoline stretcher.

The family firm 'Prior & Son' were well known in the Thames Valley area in the 19th century for the manufacture of Windsor chairs and produced various designs including this one.

This chair is in very good original condition, with evidence of some old repairs to the seat, it is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

FAQs

A low hoop back Windsor armchair is a traditional British country chair characterised by a continuous steam-bent wooden hoop forming the upper backrest, anchored by vertical spindles, a central pierced splat, and shaped arm supports.

Windsor chairs were frequently crafted using a combination of native English timbers, including yew wood for steam-bent hoops and splats, elm for shaped solid seats, and ash or beech for turned legs and stretchers.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-turned legs, wedged tenon joints through the seat board, natural wear across the footrests, and distinct grain variations characteristic of aged yew wood timber.

A yew wood Windsor chair serves as a functional accent piece in contemporary living areas, home offices, or dining spaces, providing warmth, texture, and historic depth alongside modern furnishings.

Regular dusting with a dry, soft lint-free cloth and an annual application of clear beeswax polish helps retain the surface patina while protecting the timber from ambient moisture changes.
