FAQs

A comb back Windsor chair is a traditional style of wooden seating characterised by a flat top rail shaped like a hair comb, supported by vertical spindles and often a pierced central splat, all jointed into a solid timber seat.

Traditional English Windsor chairs were typically crafted using a combination of regional timbers, including elm for the carved seat, ash or beech for the steam-bent elements and turned legs, and occasionally yew wood for decorative splats.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-carved saddled seats with tool marks on the underside, wedged tenon joints visible through the seat or arm supports, natural timber shrinkage over time, and a rich, layered patina.

Windsor chairs work effectively as accent pieces in modern dining rooms, paired with contemporary minimalist tables, or placed individually in hallways and bedrooms to introduce organic texture and historic character.

Maintain historic timber chairs by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually. Keep them away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or splitting.
