Description

A nice quality 19th-century Oxford Windsor carver chair, probably originating from the Thames Valley/Chilterns area. Unusually, this has a rope twist back rather than the more commonly seen bar back, elevating this particular chair above the majority seen. Additionally, the underarm supports are ring-turned, as are the legs, which are braced with an H stretcher. Stamped EB to the rear of the seat.

The overall quality is very good with no loose joints and a deep, rich patina.

An Oxford Windsor chair is a distinct regional variation of the traditional wooden windsor chair, characterised by its pierced splat or curved crest rail, originating in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These chairs were traditionally constructed using a combination of native timbers, typically featuring an elm or ash saddle seat, beech or birch for the turned legs and spindles, and ash for the bentwood bow or arms.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-carved saddle seats with visible adze marks, wedged tenon joints passing through the seat, natural timber shrinkage, and appropriate patination consistent with age and use.

An antique Windsor chair can be integrated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with a sleek modern dining table or positioning it as a standalone accent piece in a study to create textural contrast.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and occasionally treating the timber with traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
