Featuring Windsor Chairs this week, we have three amazing and unique chairs that would be great to place in the corner of a bedroom in an antique home.

The newest chair is an early American redproduction windsor comb back chair made by DR Dimes. It is made from tiger maple wood and and the curved back is constructed in oak as are the other chairs. DR Dimes is a premier maker of reproduction Early American furniture. They use old world craftsmanship techniques and solid woods.

The second chair is well aged antique wondsor chair from the early 1900s. uimg 7370This chair was hand crafted and is made with a pine seat and has the hand carved bow back. And the oldest chair that we have is from the mid 1800s and was previously part of a large Nantcuket estate. This chair appears to be carved out by hand and has a beautiful petina.

There are many types of Windsor chairs with various configurations. They were a labor of love for a craftsman to build and the good ones are able to with stand the test of time. We are lucky to have a few of them around our showroom. 

You can only find such a diverse set of old chairs and new chairs at Furniture Consignment Gallery.
