They were first seen in the late 16th century but were more common in the 18th and 19th century made from native woods such as Oak, Elm, Fruit-woods and the rarest in Yew wood. There were a large number of tradesmen working in villages and towns making everything from coffins, cartwheels and even barrels but they had to diversify to ensure their survival so they started to make country pieces like the Windsor chair. They were often made to measure and this is why you see many similar in design but are different sizes. Their seats are beautifully figured, shaped in solid wood and are extremely comfortable due to the many years of use and wear. The out swept arms that were formed from steam bent pieces of wood giving a lovely curved shape, from the hundreds of years of use these arms become smooth and wonderful to feel. Some of the nicest examples also have steam bent crinoline stretchers. There is something wonderful about sitting on a Windsor chair that has a design dating back 300-400 hundred years, as they come with the rich patina, character and colour that only develops with time and use. This suite are in Burr Yew with Elm, they have the rare and highly collectable Gothic backs which if you can find the early examples, they cost huge sums Dimensions Height:- 113cm Width:- 75cm Depth:- 71cm Seat height:- 49cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask.
