    Windsor furniture originated in the early 1700s in the English town of Windsor. The bentwood back frames of Windsor chairs are assembled with slender wooden spindles that are plugged into drill holes in the sculpted seat, which was usually made of elm and slightly sunken or dish-shaped for the sitter’s comfort. According to legend, the Windsor gained popularity after King George III took shelter in a cottage and was invited to sit on one. He was so charmed by the humble design that he had copies made for Windsor Castle. With the arrival of the 1730s, Windsor chairs made their way to the American colonies. A handful of Windsor chairs are said to have appeared in Philadelphia by the late 1720s. Find a variety of Windsor furniture on 1stDibs.

    Although mobile furniture for military campaigns dates back to the Romans, campaign-style furniture comes from the era of the 18th and 19th centuries, defined by the pieces used by the British Army during its global conquests. The mahogany and teak structures were part of a purposeful demonstration of power in these campaigns, with the colonizing military officers imposing their culture and view of what they considered “civilized” on a given land and its peoples. Certain designers and manufacturers, including Thomas Butler, Ross & Co. of Dublin and Morgan & Sanders, contributed to the rapid production of this furniture as the British Empire expanded through Africa, Asia and Australia.
