The Staying Power of Windsors THERE ARE FEW long established households without one or more Windsor chairs. This bears witness to their popularity when they were new furniture, bought not for beauty of line and proportion so much as be- cause they were the latest fashion. Being: good comfortable chairs that could be sat in by hearty men with- out fear of damage if tilted backward. they were much appreciated and widely used. Yet they were late ar- rivals in America Although they have an ancesiry that traces descent from an English chair of the 13th Century, the first of the American colonies was over a hundred years ola before Windsors ap- peared here. In England they were simple pieces of cottage furniture, the product of country workshops, notably those in and around the town of Windsor, and fashioned from yew and elm cut in the forests of Buck- inghamshire. About 1725 a few of them arrived in America and made their ap- pearance in the chief city of William Penn's colony for members of the Society of Friends. There native craftsmen quickly went to work adapt- ing the Windsor idea to American tastes. They made chairs with more splay to the legs than the Eng- lish importations and into the U-shaped top rail of the low back, they fitted ten to twelve tapering spin- dles instead of the usual ornamental back splat and spindles. The results were Windsor chairs with an Ameris can accent. As such they -rapidly migrated to other sections, working northward through New Jersey, New York and into New England. Soon there were craftsmen whose trade designation, Windsor Chairmaker, made it clear that they were spe- cialists. Under their hands the chair of the English cottager developed into a piece suited to the residence of a country squire or similar worthy. Even handsome town houses were not entirely without one or more of them. But where some pieces, like the high- boy, came into favor, were made for a time and then ceased to be made at all, the Windsor chair held its public far beyond the period when furniture was a craftsman product. ; Windsor chairs were made for homes and for public buildings and by both city and country chairmakers. It is safe to say that between 1740 and 1840 there was hardly a town from Maine to the Carolinas that did not have its Windsor chairmaker Nor CONNECTICUT WINDSOR ARMCHAIR It has thirteen spindles and the bow-back was care- fully bent to extend in an unbroken line from arm tip to arm tip. Made before 1800. were all of these chairs made by spe- cialists or even general practitioners in cabinetry. Many of them came into being because some farmer needed chairs and was skilled in the use of the simpler tools. He bought the turned parts at the country store; the wood for the saddle-shaped seats, the spindles and arched hoop for the back came from his own woodlot. These home-made chairs were simple, strong and comfortable. They are appreci- ated today for the same reasons. Also, the fact that they have survived a century and more of hard usage and are still sturdy, proves that these un- tutored makers did their work well. ® Last Call Before Next Spring ---- Howard Risley’s Barnyard PHONE DALLAS 300 or 396 P.
