Antique Oak British Windsor Arm Chair

Early 20th century oak Windsor armchair with turned legs and stretcher, well figured and very comfortable. The Windsor chair is established as one of the great classics of English country furniture. Made by village craftsmen to traditional designs in native woods like elm, ash, oak, beech and yew, the word Windsor refers not to the place of origin but to a design where the legs and the back are both placed into a solid seat. Windsor Chairs started in the early 18th century. ​Chairs of this type were manufactured in large numbers in the Thames Valley in Buckinghamshire, and Windsor may have been a center for distribution.
