FAQs

Windsor chairs originated in rural England during the early 18th century, characterised by a construction method where the seat acts as the central hub into which the legs, back spindles, and bow are separately joined.

Traditional Windsor chairs were typically built using a combination of timbers to maximise structural integrity, commonly featuring a solid elm or ash seat, beech or birch spindles, and ash or yew for the bentwood bows.

Authentic pieces exhibit handcrafted joinery such as wedge-tenon joints protruding through the seat, adze marks on the sculpted seat base, and natural wear patterns or oxidisation appropriate to the timbers age.

These chairs can be paired with a minimalist or contemporary wooden dining table to introduce tactile warmth, organic grain textures, and historical contrast to a modern scheme.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the finish with microcrystalline wax or traditional beeswax to maintain the timbers moisture balance.
