FAQs

A lath back Windsor chair is a style of traditional wooden seating characterized by flat, vertical slats (laths) set into a steam-bent crest rail, connected to a solid wooden seat and turned legs.

19th-century Windsor chairs were typically constructed using a combination of regional hardwoods, including elm for the solid contoured seat, beech or ash for the turned legs and spindles, and oak or yew for bent components.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-turned legs, wedged joinery visible on the top of the arms or beneath the seat, natural unevenness from hand tools, and genuine wear patterns on the front stretchers and armrests.

These classic chairs work well as accent seating in modern rustic kitchens, placed individually beside a writing desk, or paired with contemporary dining tables to add historic texture to a room.

To preserve the original finish, dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
