<p>[QUOTE="Adrian Lewis, post: 2752505, member: 12565"]Agree with verybrad, 20thC copy. These are actually called "Wheel-back Windsor chairs", hence the wheel decoration in the back splat. They were give this name because the first people to make them were wheel-rights in the 16th/17th centuries which the Windsor chair style came from. In fact the early Windsor chairs were not actually made in Windsor but a nearby town Called High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and transported to Windsor. The early "Windsor's" were straight comb-back until the beginning of the 18thC when steam bending was developed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
