A comb back Windsor chair is a style of traditional wooden seating originating in 18th-century England, characterised by vertical back spindles topped with a shaped horizontal crest rail resembling a hair comb.

Windsor chairs were typically constructed using a combination of regional hardwoods, such as elm for the shaped saddle seat, yew or ash for the steam-bent arms and spindles, and oak or beech for the legs.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-shaped saddle seats, hand-turned spindles inserted via wedged through-tenons, uneven wear patterns from long-term use, and rich surface oxidation across mixed timber types.

A historic Windsor chair functions effectively as a focal accent piece alongside modern furniture, positioned by a hearth, integrated into a hallway scheme, or used as an occasional desk chair.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually, and keeping the piece away from direct radiators or moist air to prevent splitting.
