FAQs

Originating in the Thames Valley region during the 18th century, these chairs are distinct variants of the classic Windsor design, often featuring cabriole front legs, comb backs, and decorative pierced splats with distinctive cutouts.

Regional English craftsmen typically utilised locally sourced timbers such as elm for the shaped saddle seat, ash or yew for steam-bent components and spindles, and turned wood for legs, joined using mortise-and-tenon construction socketed directly into the seat.

Key indicators include hand-carved details, irregular tool marks, natural surface patination from centuries of wear, micro-shrinkage around joints resulting in slightly oval tenons, and characteristic leg profiles specific to regional workshops.

A single regional armchair functions effectively as a statement piece in an entrance hall, positioned alongside a desk, or placed in a living space to introduce organic timber tones and historic texture.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to protect the timber and retain the patinated surface, maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent timber shrinkage.
