Southern Windsor Chairs

Southern Windsor Chairs
Made of 100% solid American hardwoods. These chairs are authentic reproductions of
American antiques from about 1765. They are made the same way they would have been made
during the period. The bent parts are made of Oak which has long stringy fibers that tend to go
the entire length of the part. This allows the parts to be made thinner for a more delicate and airy
design while still remaining strong. Maple is used in the legs for its strength its ability to retain
crisp details when turned on a lathe. The seats are made of poplar which is a softer wood that
allows easy carving of the deeply saddled contours in the seat. The seats are almost 2’’ thick for
strength yet have their front edges carved to a fine line to appear thinner and more delicate than
they really are. The legs go all the way through the seats and are wedged in place. The spindles
are done the same way where they go through the back. This is the result of tedious hand work,
but makes the chairs incredibly strong as well as historically correct. The design and
construction of this type of chair was at the cutting edge of human capability in the 18th century.
It demonstrates an understanding of how to work with wood rather than an attempt to conquer it.
They also demonstrate a sophisticated sense of design that is sadly lacking in today’s
mainstream furniture industry. Very comfortable! Made of three woods - Poplar seat, Maple legs,
& Oak bendings.  Available Standard  Finishes:  Golden Maple, Early American Maple, Southern
Maple, York County Cherry, Old Virginia Cherry, Antique Cherry, Black Lacquer, Worn Black
Lacquer, Cream Lacquer,and  Worn Cream Lacquer.  Also available at an additional charge:
Antiqued Milk Paint Finish in Brown, Black, Red, and Green. Please note these three wood
chairs will go with Maple or Cherry tables stains of the same finish but will no match exactly
since they are different woods.
