Living room furniture Antique chairs

 I'm all for embracing the new

but isn't great that we can give some

older pieces of furniture a new lease

of life!

 I would like to share a brief 

 chair history with you. 

 I found this charming little sketch 

 book circa: 1937.

 

  The chairs below are from the Victorian

  and Regency era and are all designs

  we can still use today I know I do.

  The Windsor chairs are one of the most 

  Robust and typically victorian with the 

  bulbous turned legs and double-cross

  stretcher stamp.

  The Windsor chairs were generally used
in the kitchens and often painted in dark green or black!
Very purposeful.

  The simple fan back Windsor usually

  had flat seats and were usually made

   with elm or beech wood, these design

  variants have been with us ever since.
