FAQs

Windsor chairs originated in England during the early 18th century, evolving from vernacular woodworking traditions where individual components were turned and shaped separately before being assembled into a solid wooden seat.

Traditional construction relies on a combination of timbers such as yew, elm, ash, and beech, utilising socket joints where spindles and legs are wedged directly into a thick, sculpted wooden seat base.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-turned components with minor irregularities, age-related patination, subtle wear patterns on the seat, and traditional construction methods such as wedged tenons rather than modern metal fixings.

This type of seating adds warmth and historical contrast to modern spaces when paired with minimalist dining tables, used as a standalone accent chair in a living room, or positioned beside a desk.

Preserve antique timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking, and apply a microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface without building up residue.
