Antique Windsor ChairsAntique Windsor Chairs are currently in very high demand and it is easy to see why. They are truly beautiful pieces of furniture. A Windsor chair is a chair built with a wooden seat into which are fixed the backrest and undercarriage. Typically, the backrest and sometimes the arm pieces are formed from steam bent pieces of wood.
Antique Windsor Chairs were developed in the late 17th century in the vicinity of High Wycombe but named after the local big town of Windsor, Berkshire, England. Windsor is situated on the Thames, an ideal location at a time when the easiest transportation to London (a prime retail target) was by river. From London the chairs could be shipped on to many other parts of Britain by means of the efficient coastal trade routes.
Antique Windsor Chairs are still as popular all over the world as they were 400 years ago.
