Description
Windsor Chairmaking by James Mursell is a comprehensive guide to creating these traditional and beautiful chairs. With over 300 years of history behind them, Windsor chairs have become an iconic feature in many homes. This book delves into the heritage of Windsor chairmaking, exploring the distinct designs from England and America, as well as the tools, techniques, and materials used. Detailed plans and measurements for four chairs are included, allowing makers to attempt a chair from either side of the Atlantic. A unique study of an 18th-century armchair brings to life the story behind its creation, using tool marks and other clues left by the maker. For those looking to design their own Windsor chair from scratch, this book provides guidance on how to approach the project, taking into account the anthropomorphic nature of these chairs and the messages they can convey.
