The Windsor Chair! ... An American Classic!

The Windsor chair dates back to the 17th century! It is said that King George III first sat on a Windsor chair in a cottage while fox hunting. Impressed by the chairs comfort and design, the King had a number crafted to be placed in the Windsor castle. And so we have the Windsor chair!

Today, exact styles of the Windsor chair differ from England to the United States. They also differ provincially in the United States. For example, craftsmen in Philadelphia are recognized for their plain tapered legs, while craftsmen in New England pioneered the continuous-arm style. DutchCrafters carries nearly 150 different styles of Windsor chairs and benches, supporting a rich history of the Windsor style’s development and refinement!

The Windsor chair must be very carefully crafted for maximum quality. Woodworkers use slender spindles that are fastened into tapered sockets in the seat. They join the chairs outward-slanting legs with immensely sturdy wedged tenon joints, and traditionally, handcrafted stretchers connect the front and back legs, while a crossbar connects both stretchers.

The Windsor chair has been around since the late 17th century and is defined by its splayed legs, spindle back and sculpted seat. Windsor chairs get their name from the town of Windsor, England, where the chairs were used locally in the late 1600s. Windsor chairs were originally intended as outdoor lawn chairs and usually painted green. The original Windsor chairs had arched backs that country folk could slip a burlap bag over to block the wind. Later versions had a bracket at the top of the back for people to drape a coat. One story had the king of England taking refuge from a storm in a local cottage, where he sat in a commoner’s Windsor chair. The king liked the chair and decided to get chairs like it at his palace. That made the chairs popular with the upper class. By the early 18th century, Windsor chairs had made their way to England’s colonies in America.
