What is the best way to identify a Windsor chair?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Can anyone tell me if this is a Windsor chair? I picked 4 of these up at a yard sale yesterday. They appear to be original and in good condition. I tried to get the photo here but it won’t work for me. Please visit my booth. The chair is the 1st item.

Thanks.

If it looks just like this â–¼ then it definitely would be considered to be Fine Art original (worth more than the other antiques)…Good Luck

I believe it is a tapered Windsor bow-back side chair; if your speaking of the 1st one in your booth
[URL removed] I’m sorry, with this market today I can’t say for sure. A few years back if it was a good antique we’ld get 150.-200.
Check out google and see what the folks are asking and take a middle of the road approach so that you may lower the price as you go. Or go low and clear it fast.

Thanks so much! I see the reproductions are going for around $700 each! That’s weird that a repro would sell for more than the original- LOL

Thanks for taking the time to answer. :)

Thank you GoGoMontrose, They do resemble this but the seat is thicker and they have a brace back. They also have a stretcher (?) between the back legs as well as the center. Hoping they’re worth a little. :)
