Windsor Chairmakers

If you have taken the care to restore your old home or if you simply appreciate early American craftsmanship you will realize, why we take the time to replicate the methods used by 18th century master Windsor chairmakers. We know that their designs and techniques created chairs that were light, strong and lasting because their work endures to this day. Because of its popularity the Windsor style is often manufactured in large quantities. We make our Windsor chairs as well as our Colonial dining tables and wooden bowls one at a time, concentrating on the details of each one. This delivers to you a true museum quality Windsor chair made by a true Windsor chairmaker.
