The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A lath back chair is a regional variant of the traditional Windsor chair, defined by vertical wooden slats or laths fitted into a curved top rail. Widely manufactured in Britain during the nineteenth century, these chairs were engineered for durability in kitchens, farmhouses, and commercial establishments.

These chairs were crafted from native hardwoods, using elm for the shaped saddle seat alongside beech, ash, or oak for the steam-bent back laths and turned legs. The components were assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured without nails.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned leg spindles, natural wear patterns on the seat and armrests, and wedge-secured joints visible beneath the seat rail. The underside typically displays hand-sawn timber marks and an unpolished finish characteristic of historical manufacturing techniques.

A single lath back armchair functions well as a desk chair in a home office or as an accent seat in an entryway. Positioned alongside modern furniture, the timber grain and structured profile provide visual balance and material contrast.

Dust the wood regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish biannually to protect the original patination. Position the chair away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent timber shrinkage or joint separation.
