Pair of Antique Broad Arm Windsor Chairs

19th century
Description

A good example of a pair of Broad Arm Windsor chairs dating from the mid to late 19th century. They are made from ash and elm and both have a high hooped back enclosing turned spindles with a pierced back splat. They stand on turned legs joined by a H-stretcher.

There are some minor differences in sizes between the two chairs but they are approximately 43" (109cm) high and 25 1/2" (65cm) wide across the arms. The seats are 18" (46cm) deep and 17" (43cm) high.

They are both in good original condition with a lovely rich patina. There are signs of age and use and some marks, light knocks and wear on the seats and around the legs but nothing detrimental. There have been some repairs over the years but nothing untoward and they are both strong and sturdy. They have been gently cleaned and polished and are ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

This pair of Victorian Windsor armchairs is executed in a warm brown timber comprising ash and elm, displaying a rich patina across the shaped wooden seats and carved components. Each chair exhibits a high hooped back fitted with vertical turned spindles and a central pierced splat, flanked by broad curved armrests. The framework stands upon turned legs united by an H-stretcher, showing minor historical marks, light knocks, and signs of age and use. The construction measures 109 cm high, 65 cm wide, and 46 cm deep overall. Suitable for placement around a rustic dining table or as accent seating in a traditional study, these armchairs offer functional character for everyday home use. The surfaces have received a gentle clean and polish while retaining their original structural integrity. Both chairs remain strong and sturdy for seating purposes, bearing historical repairs acquired over decades of service.

FAQs

Windsor chairs originated in England during the early eighteenth century, primarily made by rural craftspeople in regions like Buckinghamshire. They were designed with spindle backs and solid wooden seats, evolving into various regional styles widely used in homes, taverns, and gardens.

Traditional English Windsor chairs were constructed using a combination of regional hardwoods. Elm was typically selected for the solid saddle seat due to its cross-grained strength, while ash, oak, or yew wood were used for the steam-bent back hoops, spindles, and turned legs.

Authentic period Windsor chairs often feature hand-carved saddle seats with visible wedge joints on the top surface where the legs penetrate the wood. Additional indicators include irregular tool marks, uneven wear on foot rungs, and natural shrinkage line variations around turned spindles.

Windsor armchairs can be styled as accent seating flanking a fireplace, placed at the ends of a modern dining table, or paired with contemporary neutral textiles to introduce warmth and historic texture into a modern living space.

To preserve antique wooden seating, clean surfaces regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber splitting or joint shrinkage.
