FAQs

A Windsor chair is a traditional form of wooden seating where the back spindles and legs are socketed into a solid carved seat, originating in England during the early 18th century.

Traditional English Windsor chairs often utilised local hardwoods, including yew wood for steam-bent bows, elm for solid saddle seats, and beech or ash for lath-turned legs and spindles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved seat profiles, visible wedged tenon joinery on the top of the seat, hand-turned leg supports, and occasionally regional maker stamps impressed into the timber edge.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece alongside a modern side table, pair it with a minimalist desk, or arrange a mixed group of regional wooden chairs around an unvarnished dining table.

Dust the timber regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually, ensuring the piece is kept away from radiator heat and direct sunlight to prevent drying out.
