FAQs

Windsor chairs originated in England during the early 18th century, evolving from vernacular furniture traditions where spindles were inserted directly into a solid wooden seat.

Authentic Windsor chairs typically utilise a combination of timbers, such as yew or elm for the sculpted seats, ash or beech for the bentwood bows and spindles, and fruitwood or elm for the legs.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, the construction of the joints, and the natural patina developed over centuries of use.

These seating options provide organic warmth when paired with contemporary minimalist dining tables or used as accent seating in eclectic living spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
