Handmade Windsor Chairs Crafted in Somerset

Handmade Windsor chairs individually crafted in Somerset by chairmaker Alex Ward, using locally sourced hardwoods including oak, ash, beech and elm.

My work includes both traditional and contemporary English and American Windsor chair designs, such as lath back, comb back, continuous arm and sack back chairs, several of which are still rarely made in the UK today.

Each chair is made individually in my workshop using carefully selected timber and a combination of traditional hand tools and modern methods. The aim is simple: to produce chairs that are comfortable, well-proportioned, and built to last for generations.

If you are interested in commissioning a chair, or would like to discuss a design, please feel free to get in touch.
