Description:
These strong Windsor chairs, which have been constructed in the late 19th century, are constructed with six spindles to the inside of a single piece oval shaped ash moulded back rail, supported by a two further supporting spindles at the back of the chair, for added strength. Please note, Windsor stick back chairs which do not feature the “V” shape twin spindle back support on the back of the chairs, are not as strong and are prone to the backs coming loose over time. The back rail is connected to the single piece saddle shaped elm seats and turned beech legs connected by “H” beech stretchers, which makes them a firm utility chair, ideal for daily use in the kitchen. The stick back style of chair first originated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England and were known as “Windsor chairs”. The four kitchen chairs boast a stunning rich colour with fabulous grain configuration visible on the seats.
This set of four kitchen dining chairs boasts classic period country styling; they would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting and they consume very little space.
If you are looking for a different number of chairs, we do have other size sets available.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English harlequin set of four kitchen chairs, constructed of solid ash, elm and beech, with a Windsor hoop & stick back design, circa 1890, in excellent condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges (e.g., seats, back and legs) but nothing significant considering the age of them. The chair joints have been glued and the chair frames have been waxed polished, by hand, in our workshop, therefore, the colour and patination of the set are excellent. This is a harlequin (matched) set and therefore there is some variation in the colour and size of the chairs. The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble. They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
