Early 19th Century Windsor Chair - Nottinghamshire

18th century
For Sale by M Cross Antiques
Description

A Georgian yew and elm Windsor chair almost certainly manufactured in Retford, Nottinghamshire (circa 1800-1820).

In yew with a bell-shaped elm seat having a scribe line around the edge. Additionally, with shaped and flattened underarm supports that are morticed into the edge of the seat, three tapered underarm spindles and eight long tapering back spindles. Finished with a stylised fleur-de-lis upper splat.

The overall condition is very good with a beautiful worn patination. We have noted three areas of historic repair which add to the character of this lovely chair. One to the arm bow where it meets the back bow, one to the underside of the chair to secure the split in the seat and finally where the crinoline stretcher meets the rear supports. Please see images for details of these charmingly naive historic details.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Windsor chair features a solid wooden seat into which the chair back legs and spindles are round-tenoned, distinct from standard frame-built chairs.

Regional makers commonly utilised locally sourced hardwoods, combining flexible yew wood for steam-bent bows with elm for shaped seats and beech or ash for turnings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved pierced back splats, distinct crinoline or H-stretchers, and visible wedge-tenon construction on the underside of thick elm seats.

Position an authentic Windsor armchair as a standalone accent piece in an entryway, pair it with a modern desk, or integrate it into an eclectic dining arrangement.

Dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain while avoiding modern spray polishes.
