FAQs

A Windsor armchair is a form of wooden seating where spindled back elements and legs are socketed directly into a solid wooden seat, a technique developed in 18th-century England.

These chairs were typically constructed using regional hardwoods, combining a solid elm saddle seat with steam-bent yew or ash for the bows, back splat, and turned legs.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-turned spindles, wedged tenons passing through the seat, distinct figure and grain variations in the elm seat, and natural patination on the yew wood bow.

A Windsor chair functions well as an accent chair in a hallway, positioned alongside a writing desk, or grouped around an oak dining table to add organic warmth and historical context.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
