The New York Continuous Arm Windsor chair is considered by many to perhaps be the most graceful and aesthetically pleasing of all Windsors. This is possibly the most superior design of the hand made period and the last truly original style of Windsor ever developed.
The back of this remarkably complex chair, which is made from a single piece of wood, is steam-bent in two directions, producing a graceful sweeping compound curve that served as both the backrest and the armrests. The braces and two outer spindles on each side are not through wedged to the bow, rather they are blind socketed from below – a very complex process. The Continuous Arm Windsor, with its graceful curve, deeply carved shield-shaped seat, shapely turnings and canted legs, appeared ready to spring to life. This bold new form pushed Windsor chair-making to aesthetic and technical heights with its beauty, strength, comfort and grace.
