FAQs

Originating in England during the early 18th century, the Windsor chair is defined by a solid wooden seat into which the chair legs and backrest spindles are inserted using round tenons, rather than relying on continuous frame posts.

Traditional English Windsor chairs frequently combine multiple native woods, utilising shaped elm for the solid saddle seat due to its cross-grain strength, and steam-bent ash or yew wood for the spindles, hoops, and armrests.

Authentic 19th century examples feature hand-shaped saddle seats displaying adze marks, hand-turned spindles, wedge-tenon joinery, and natural wear patterns on the stretcher rails and armrests consistent with age.

A Windsor armchair serves as an accent piece in contemporary living spaces, pairing effectively with neutral linen soft furnishings, minimalist oak desks, or placed individually beside a fireplace or reading nook.

To preserve the timber patination, wipe the frame with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice per year, and position the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
