Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Single-piece elm seat with deep hand saddling: traditional early 19th-century country chairmaking.
Steam-bent crinoline stretcher socketed into turned legs: classic Thames Valley pattern of the period.
Fine vertical drying fissures along the turned arm supports: natural long-term shrinkage of yew.

  • ObjectArmchairs
  • Period19th century
  • StyleEnglish Country House
  • MaterialYew, Elm
  • ColourWarm Brown
  • MotifsPierced splat, Saddle seat, Hoop back, Crinoline stretcher

This nineteenth-century English Country House armchair combines yew and elm timbers with a warm brown wax polish finish. The design incorporates a low hoop back enclosing a classical pierced urn-shaped yew splat and turned spindles, framed by a curved top rail and scroll-ended armrests supported by turned yew uprights. A solid, figured elm saddle seat sits above four turned legs joined by a curved crinoline stretcher. The piece measures 58 cm across the arms, 89.5 cm in height, and 39 cm in seat depth. In a contemporary home, this chair functions as a desk seat, a fireside chair, or an accent piece in a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

A Windsor armchair is a form of wooden seating where spindled back elements and legs are socketed directly into a solid wooden seat, a technique developed in 18th-century England.

These chairs were typically constructed using regional hardwoods, combining a solid elm saddle seat with steam-bent yew or ash for the bows, back splat, and turned legs.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-turned spindles, wedged tenons passing through the seat, distinct figure and grain variations in the elm seat, and natural patination on the yew wood bow.

A Windsor chair functions well as an accent chair in a hallway, positioned alongside a writing desk, or grouped around an oak dining table to add organic warmth and historical context.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
