These are a really quite beautiful set of basically matching kitchen dining chairs. The only real differences are a slight variation in dimensions due to the natural movement of wood over hundreds of years which has resulted in some having a marginally lower seat than others.

It was quite rare for windsor chairs to actually be made and supplied in a set all at the same time, with families instead tending to order them on an ad hoc, when required type basis.

These chairs are constructed from lovely ash and elm timbers and have retained a lovely colour and patina to go with how beautifully figured they are.

They are sound in construction with no loose joints to speak of and have been through our workshop for a good clean and polish.

They have real elegance, but also practicality and are surprisingly comfortable to sit on for day to day use. They would suit a wide variety of tables and styles of house.

Perfect around the kitchen table these are a great design of chair. They are relatively robust, whilst also being elegant and small enough to tuck nicely around a table at the same time. This is often a difficult combination to find with english country chairs.

As with all items we offer for sale the chairs have been inspected and any minor issues attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers before being offered for sale. They have also received a natural wax polish ensuring they are in tip top condition and ready to place straight into the home after purchase.
