Children’s Windsor Chairs, Sets Of Chairs & Specials
Real Windsor chairs for children, commissioned sets of Windsor chairs and special designs. I am happy to make special designs or copies of old chairs (not other workers’ current production please!) or to work from photographs, patterns or even book illustrations.
A childs Windsor chair. This is based on a low back English design. The seat is 12 1/2 inches (32 cm) high and the width of the seat between the front arm supports is 11 inches (28cm). This size should be suitable for children up to about 7 or 8 years old, by which time they will be able to use adult chairs. This example is made all in ash.
A set of six comb back chairs. Comprising two armchairs and four dining chairs. Designed to sit comfortably around a dining table, they form a cohesive and enduring presence in a room.
A set of six English back hoop diners. These are made in ash with crinoline stretchers.
A shawl back two seater settee. In the old days of draughty rooms and open log fires they would throw a blanket or shawl over the back to increase the users temperature. This example has Beech bends and Ash legs and backsticks.
