18th Century English Stickback Windsor Armchair













18th Century English Stickback Windsor Armchair
This exquisite 18th-century English stickback Windsor armchair embodies the enduring artistry of Georgian craftsmanship. Carved from elm, it features a thick single-plank saddle seat, gently scooped for comfort, resting on elegantly turned legs joined by an H-stretcher for strength and balance. What makes this chair truly extraordinary is its layered paint history: the original green surface, now peeking through a later 19th-century dark red, creates a rich, crackled patina that feels both painterly and alive. Time has transformed its surface into a work of folk art, where color, age, and wear come together in unexpected harmony. More than a chair, it is a narrative of centuries of use—an everyday object elevated into something sculptural and rare. A striking example of the Windsor form, it stands as both functional furniture and historical artifact, appealing equally to collectors, design enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by objects with soul.
