Windsor Side Chair
16W 37H
Species: Poplar, Maple, and Hickory
The side chair is a comb back Windsor. Variations of windsors (bow back, splat back, etc.) have been in continuous production since the 1750 in both England and North America. In England the seat was often made of elm, whereas pine and poplar were typically used here.
The seat on the 101 Windsor is deeply carved, adding greatly to its comfort. The seat is poplar, the large turnings are maple, the small spindles are hickory as are the bent rails. The original of this chair was made by Mr. Andrew Marlowe of York, Pennsylvania. It was the industrial revolution and the explosion of the middle class that made chairs affordable.

Chippendale Side Chair
22W 381/4H
We bought two side chairs at Sotheby's, N.Y., made them larger, and invented a matching arm chair. This is the best looking chippendale chair of its type that we have seen. We have no idea who designed it, but it is English ca. 1790. Virtually all the joints are flush, the stretchers are well placed and stippling is used in the carving on the crest rail. The backposts are rounded and bevelled to lighten their appearance.
The back of the chair is just as graceful as the front. Grab the crest rail, it has a wonderful feel to it.
A Greek word for chair or throne is "kathedra". A cathedral is where the bishop keeps his chair.
