Windsor chair
English wooden classic
A Windsor chair is a wooden chair with a solid shaped seat into which the legs and back spindles are socketed.
The back typically consists of multiple thin spindles topped by a curved rail, creating a distinctive silhouette.
Originating in 18th-century England, Windsor chairs became especially popular in American colonial furniture: a set of antique Windsor chairs around the dining table.
