Yeoman's (Low Back) Windsor Chair by Colin Foxhall
English Yeoman's Bow Windsor Chair by Colin Foxhall.
This style of chair (also know as a low-back) is very traditional and was usually made in the east Midlands area of England.
This chair is made of Devon Ash wood components with an English Ash seat. The finish is stained, with shellac and wax. Backsplats can be made in a variety of patterns. The arm and back bows are steam bent out of solid timber.
Originals can usually be found in Antique shops, but they have often suffered from misuse, and the small stretchers to the back legs are often broken or loose.
If you already have one of these chairs, why not preserve its value and save it from future damage by ordering a couple of copies which you can use as much as you like without fear of breakage! Then you can have the original repaired.
Colin Foxhall's workshop is near Tavistock, Devon, UK.
