The Continuous-arm Windsor chair was one of the only Windsors developed outside of Philadelphia (circa. 1789) and became for New York what the sack back had been for Philly. These popular and comfortable chairs feature a shield seat, as opposed to the Philadelphia's oval seat. This chair is available with a tail brace.

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. Choose your finish milk paint color from the sample board. Click on the image for a closeup. Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, color samples may appear different on different monitors and screens. 

If you select the custom color option (additional $50), we will email you for color confirmation.
