Windsor chairs are a beautiful and traditional feature in any home.
Some three hundred years of tradition lie behind chairs made today.
While sound joints are essential, it is the sensitive shaping of
each component that leads to a fine chair. This lavish book
celebrates their history and explains their heritage. It compares
and contrasts the distinct Windsor designs from England and
America. Tools, techniques and the selection of materials are
extensively covered. Detailed plans and measurements for four
chairs [two English, two American] are provided and allow makers on
one side of the Atlantic to attempt a chair from the other side. A
unique study of a magnificent 18th century armchair brings to life
the 260 year old story told by the tool marks and other clues left
by the maker. Guidance and techniques explain how to design your
own chair from scratch, taking into account the anthropomorphic
nature of these chairs and the messages they can send out.
