This Windsor chair inherits the British Victorian style. This is a traditional British chair style that has been around since the 18th century, and is characterized by a decorative backboard reminiscent of a wheel. The seat is carefully woven with rattan, providing both breathability and comfort. The spindles of the legs and backrest are machined using a lathe, creating a well-balanced and beautiful shape created by craftsmen's handwork. The wood has a deep color that has been aged over time, and the simple and sturdy spirit of British furniture is alive and well.

Details

The Windsor chair is a style of chair that is said to have originated in the Windsor region of England in the early 18th century, and is characterized by a rod-shaped spindle that runs through the back and seat, and a sturdy structure. In the Victorian era (1837-1901), decorative elements were added, with the backboards featuring openwork carvings reminiscent of wheels and shields. The rattan seat is called a cane seat and has excellent ventilation, making it comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. The grooves and bulges created by the potter's wheel on the legs create visual changes and a sense of stability.
