The braced Nantucket Fan-back Windsor armchair is the most formal of the Windsor chairs. The Nantucket style features knuckle arms popular in Coastal Massachusetts around 1770-1790. This beautiful chair is as comfortable in the dining room as it is in the living room or kitchen. We offer both adult and kid's or youth versions.
As with all of our Windsors, each chair begins with locally milled green lumber. Every seat is hand-carved from Eastern White Pine. We do all of our turnings by hand on a lathe out of maple or black birch. Every spindle is rived and shaved on a shave horse to ensure the grain is left unbroken from end to end. This traditional process is repeated on the chair's back before steaming and bending. The legs are set using a traditional tapered lock joint which increases the chair's stability. Finally, everything is wedged, hand-sanded, and finished with your choice of colored lacquer or milk paint.
Every piece is custom made to order allowing us to tailor each commission to your specific needs.
