Beautiful ornate english 'hoop back' windsor chair with high back, elm and beech with a fantastic age patina, beautiful wear in the right places, united kingdom, first half 19th century, ca 1840. The windsor chair, also called farmhouse furniture, the name windsor probably originated from the fact that the first chairs were made of wood that came from the forests of windsor castle. They are always made from indigenous woods such as oak, elm, beech, ash and the less common yew wood. The arm and backrests are formed from steam-bent pieces of wood, a saddle-shaped seat that is very comfortable to sit in, the bars of the backrest are incorporated in the (solid) seat, a single h-bar connection at the bottom and a continuous curved bar as a backrest, in short, a fantastic piece of craftsmanship! This chair is in beautiful antique condition, still very sturdy, signs of age and use consistent with age, old traces of woodworm (they always have) in the backrest, but nothing disturbing, the chair still exists and is completely original, which is remarkable, check the photos for more details!
