THE WINDSOR CHAIR
"The Windsor chair is perhaps one of the most comfortable types' of chair ever made. The rake of the back exactly accommodates the human frame; the scut, is shaped, and that shape is governed by n. play mould, the mould being produced originally by the beautifully simple and obvious expedient of getting somebody to sit upon a mass of wet clay. In the old types of Windsor chair 1 lie bow of the back and the spindles were often made ill yew tree, the seat ill elm, and the legs in ash or oak; a highly decorative and most enduring association of woods. There is .-in unbroken tradition in the production of Windsor chairs, and at High. Wycombe to-dav, where most of the chairs used in this and many other countries are made, the same types, sturdy, well-proportioned, and wonderfully'comfortable, that were produced by hand seventy, a hundred and two hundred years ago, are being made in iiinumerablc factories."—“Good Housekeeping.”
