Windsor chairs originated in the English town of Windsor around 1710. The style quickly made its way across the pond, landing in the Colonies around 1730. From there, the style was adopted into American design. Over the next century, furniture makers, headquartered primarily in Philadelphia, modified the style to accommodate changing consumer tastes.

A Windsor chair (also known as a 'Welsh stick chair')[1] is a chair built with a solid wooden seat into which the chair-back and legs are round-tenoned, or pushed into drilled holes, in contrast to standard chairs (whose back legs and back uprights are continuous). The seats of Windsor chairs were often carved into a shallow dish or saddle shape for comfort. Traditionally, the legs and uprights were usually turned on a pole lathe. The back and sometimes the arm pieces (if arms are present) are formed from steam bent pieces of wood.
It is not clear when the first Windsor Chairs were made.[3] It is known that, as early as the 16th century, wheelwrights started coping out chair spindles in the same way they made wheel spokes.[4] The design was probably a development of West Country, Welsh and Irish 'stick-back' chairs, but the evidence on origin is not certain.[3] It is thought that the first Windsor chair made its appearance in the county of Buckinghamshire, where the main centre of production eventually moved to High Wycombe.[3] The first Windsors were of the comb-back variety.[3] By the 18th century steam bending was being used to produce the characteristic "bow" of the Windsor chair.[4] The first chairs made this way were shipped to London from the market town of Windsor, Berkshire in 1724.[4] There is speculation that the chair derives its name from the town of Windsor, which became the centre for the trade between the producers and the London dealers.[3] Thus the name "Windsor Chair" is more about the style of chair than where it was made, with many diverse forms of Windsor chair being made worldwide.[5]
English settlers introduced the Windsor chair to North America, with the earliest known chairs being imported by Patrick Gordon who became lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania in 1726. There is speculation that the first American Windsor chair, based on the traditional British design, was made in Philadelphia in 1730.[9]
The seat of a Windsor chair is an essential part since it provides the stability to both the upper and lower portions. The thickness of the seat allows the legs to be anchored securely into their respective tapered sockets, providing the undercarriage with strength and stability.[10] A timber that will provide the strength and stability whilst also allowing it to be shaped, in order to achieve the desired look and feel, requires a strong durable timber, with interlocking grain, to provide the right characteristics.[10] English Windsors typically have elm seats because its interlocking grain gives good cross-grain strength that resists splitting where holes are placed close to the edge of a seat.[10] There are no real satisfactory alternatives to elm although other woods have been tried, for example, oak and ash in Britain and various types of pine in the USA.[10] Because of elm's strength compared to pine, tulip poplar or bass, English Windsor chair seats are usually not as thick as American Windsors. The English Windsor chair seats are not saddled (or dished) as deeply as their American counterparts- partly because of elm's relative strength, and partly because elm is comparatively more difficult to sculpt than the softer woods chosen by American chair makers. Woodwrights use tools such as the adze, scorp or inshave to form the hollowed out, form fitting, ergonomic top of the seat. 59ce067264
