FAQs

Windsor chairs originated in England during the early 18th century, characterised by a distinct construction where the legs and back are wedged directly into a solid wooden seat. The wheelback motif was introduced later in the 19th century, featuring a pierced central splat carved in the shape of a cartwheel.

Traditional Windsor chairs utilise a combination of timbers chosen for specific structural properties, typically featuring a durable hardwood such as elm or fruitwood for the solid saddle seat, ash or oak for the bent parts and legs, and birch or pine for the spindles.

Authentic pieces often display hand-turned components with minor variations, adze marks on the underside of the shaped wooden seat, wedge-and-tenon joints where the legs pass through the seat, and natural patina resulting from decades of use and waxing.

Mixing traditional wooden seating with a modern dining table creates an eclectic balance of textures, grounding contemporary spaces with historical warmth and organic materiality.

Maintain the finish by keeping wooden furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
