FAQs

A Windsor armchair is a solid wooden seating design originating in 18th-century Britain, characterised by back spindles, legs, and arm supports fitted into wedged mortises within a solid shaped seat.

Regional craftsmen utilised native hardwoods such as elm for shaped solid seats, paired with fruitwood, ash, or beech for turned legs, bentwood top rails, and back spindles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned components, wedge-tenon joinery visible on the seat surface, natural wood shrinkage around joints, and genuine surface patination.

Position the chair as an accent piece beside a contemporary floor lamp, style it with neutral linen textiles, or place it at the head of a dining table to add warmth and contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish along the grain annually to maintain timber moisture and protect the historical finish.
