Reproduction Windsor fan back arm chair with turned legs. This chair has a Crinoline stretcher ( the curved stretcher was an extra option on period chairs that allowed room for crinoline skirts). The seats are made using a single plank, just the way the originals were made. This chair is in Ash wood in Anglian oak finish.

These chairs are made for us in an old 19th century brick factory building in a small town in rural England. They are made completely by hand in the same meticulous method used for 300 years and almost as much time is spent making the "surface" correct. They tend to be somewhat larger with seats so well carved that they're very comfortable (We refer to them as 2 hour chairs rather than 15 minute chairs).
