Heirloom Windsor Chairs

Traditionally crafted chairs that tell a rich story

Windsor chairs have two centuries of rich history and they remain a favorite throughout the world, cherished for their delicate appearance, robust construction, and artistic design.

Mass-produced chairs are stripped of life, sterilized in their design, and carelessly constructed. A handcrafted chair will continue to remain superior for their exceptionally strong components, careful joinery, and deeply carved seats. Follow the steps to make a Windsor chair below.
