Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is built with durable construction and a shaped seat designed for comfort, making it suitable for regular use. However, as an 18th-century antique, it should be treated with the care appropriate for a historic piece.
The seat height is 18.5 inches. This is a standard height that will comfortably fit under most traditional dining tables, which typically have a clearance of 28 to 30 inches.
To preserve the naturally aged patina, avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can dry out the wood. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and use a high-quality furniture wax sparingly if the wood appears dull.
No, this is an authentic antique piece and arrives fully assembled. It is ready for use immediately upon delivery.
The Windsor design is renowned for its structural integrity. The slender turned supports are integrated into the frame to provide a stable, balanced base that has proven its durability over centuries of use.
