Colonial chairs

Colonial chairs

These chairs are ideal for use in a dining room or large kitchen up against a table, with double-bows or continuous-arms at the ends. The large bow-back is more suited as an individual arm chair, although can still be used at a table. They are made of elm (seat) and oak (everything else). They are normally finished in their natural colour, or darkened slightly by fuming with ammonia. This allows all the natural colour and grain to be seen to its best advantage.

Bow-back chair

Steam bent back with seven spindles, and deeply carved elm seat.

Fan-back chair

The same undercarriage and seat as the bow-back, but the bow is replaced by two back-posts and a crest.

Double-bow armchair (medium)

This compact armchair wraps itself around the sitter making it comfortable for long periods.

Double-bow armchair (large)

This is a larger version of the chair above. It has a wider seat, longer radius bows and more spindles. It serves well as an individual chair or at the head of a table.

Continuous-arm chair

One of the most elegant Windsor designs. The steam-bent back forms both the hands/arms and the back.

The seat is similar in shape to the bow back. Very comfortable. The low arms fit easily under most tables.
