FAQs

A Windsor high chair is a miniature version of the traditional stick-back Windsor chair, raised on longer legs with an integrated footrest specifically constructed for infants in country homes.

These chairs typically feature a combination of native British timbers, utilizing bent yew or ash for the hoops, elm for the sculpted seats, and beech or fruitwood for the turned legs and spindles.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods such as wedge-tenon construction, hand-carved saddle seats displaying natural wear, and the rich patina developed over centuries of oxidisation.

In modern interiors, these pieces are frequently utilized as decorative sculptural elements, placed in a corner or alcove to display antique dolls, textiles, or used as standalone accent objects.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber drying, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the antique finish.
