The Development of the American Windsor ChairsPaperback, 18 January 2012

A Windsor chair is a chair built with a solid wooden seat into which the chair-back and legs are round-tenoned, or pushed into drilled holes. This is in contrast to standard chairs, where the back legs and the uprights of the back are continuous. Contained within this book is a fascinating account of the development of the American Windsor chair. Containing a wealth of interesting information on its history, evolution, construction, and popularity, along with a veritable catalogue of authentic photographs and detailed illustrations, this text constitutes a definite treatise on the subject and is not to be missed by those with an interest in Windsor furniture. Many antique texts such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by, and it is with this in mind that we are proud to republish 'The Development of the American Windsor Chairs' here complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.
