Artifact Overview

Windsor chairs began to appear in American homes in the mid-18th century, and they are still being made today. When first introduced, they were used in every room of the house -- but especially in public spaces because they were so sturdy and inexpensive. Windsor chairs also came in various styles and types -- even with seating for two!
