Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An introduction pointing out the basic characteristics which help in the naming and dating of Windsor chairs.Since the beginning of the eighteenth century Windsor chairs have been produced as both garden and verandah chairs and as finely carved royal furniture and, whether made by hand or machine, their simple rustic designs have made them very collectable.To many people, however, the wide range of Windsor chairs is completely unknown and the name is often linked only with the most popular type, the wheelback Windsor chair. But for the enthusiast and connoisseur there are many styles and even more variations within those.
